angel-courtesan 0 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hi thereI've found threads on word count, but the description of the Evernote screen, in order to find the word count tool, just doesn't match what I can see. I've tried using the Evernote app on my netbook or using the desktop version via Google Chrome and I still don't see the Tools menu with an apparent word count function. As a professional writer, it's really annoying not being able to see the progress of an article by word count. It's such a simple function, I really don't understand why it's hidden. I've tried hitting the info button, but it just gives the size of the doc in bytes!? Who the hell measures an article in bytes? Any help finding the word count would be great. Or even better, if Evernote could just sort it out and make it a default function. thanks Link to comment

PS - as to document size, you're measuring a note that's part of a database. The file size will be different if it's saved elsewhere... Link to comment
angel-courtesan 0 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks for responding. I am working on a note now. When I right click I get, cut, paste, copy, spell check, writing direction, select all, inspect element.No word count. This is Windows via desktop. Link to comment

If you instead use that application to access your account you will see the option that Gaz is referring to. Link to comment
