Affinity Publisher Word Count - how to see results?


Recommended Posts

I understand select object or text /view/show word count - but where are the results displayed please? I've opened pre flight panel but cant see anything there. Apparently it should show near pre flight status indicators but how to display?

No stats or anything showing at foot of screen....am I missing something - grab attached.

Hi MtnDave,

This should be visible on the status bar towards the bottom of the app however its not currently visible. Please could you try hiding and showing the apps UI by hitting the Tab key to see if this makes it appear?

Thanks

It may not be visible simply because the Windows Task Bar is covering the bottom of the UI. Shrinking the application window, or hiding the Task Bar, should show it.

@MtnDave First of all, you need to enable word count first in Menu → View →  Show Word Count.

Then you would be able to see the word stats in the status bar. Next to the preflight icon. If you click on them a popup box wil show up with more specified stats. 
But as @walt.farrell suggested, the app view needs to be such that the status bar is visible.

All - thanks for replies!  My email notifications were spammed out by Virgin Media, hence only just seen them

The status bar info was in fact hiding under the bottom of the Pages studio panel which was too deep - dragged it shorter.

All the replies did help to arrive at this after a bit of fiddling around.
