Software for word counting?

[latenight]

Is there any software for word counting? And support multilanguages as well, including English, Chinese, etc.? I know of Microsoft Word's word counting ability for the file but, in this case, I only need some paragraphies to be counted. Any idea?

MS Word can also count the words in part of a document. Turn on the Word Count toolbar (right click on a toolbar and select it from the menu). Select the text and click on the "Recount" button. Or select the text and go to Tools>Word Count from the menu. You will get the count for the selected text instead of the whole document.

You could also get a freeware text editor that will count the words for you, such as Notepad XP. Copy the text you want to count and paste it into the text editor for counting. Afterwards just close the text editor and don't save the copied text.

There is a website here that you can paste your text to and it will count the words for you.

I'm sure there are some utilities that will run in the tray to do this also, like
Text Tally.
