Apache OpenOffice is a free word-processing program similar to Microsoft Word and Google Docs. This wikiHow will show you how to use the word count feature to find the number of words in your document.
Open your document in OpenOffice. You can either open the document from OpenOffice by clicking the File menu and selecting Open, or by right-clicking the file on your computer and selecting Open With. You'll usually find OpenOffice in your Start menu or Applications folder. In versions earlier than OpenOffice 2.0 (around 2005), there is no feature to provide a word count.
Select the text you want to count. If you're counting the entire document, you can skip this step. Otherwise, use the mouse to highlight the words you'd like to count.
Click the Tools menu. It's at the top of the screen.
Click Word Count on the menu. A window will appear displaying statistics for the document (or selected text), including the word and character count.
