The word count may not be accurate as this script only uses a space as a seperator between words. I've developed a script for your specific situation. I am running Lubuntu 20.04LTS, using Chrome as the browser, if that makes a difference. There are a few small additional things to consider but just knowing if that's possible would be great. Here's a link to a document showing what I'm hoping to do: link Is there any way to have a cell of the table look at the text below and calculate the wordcount?Įach table has a H3 title above it, so my thought would be to somehow identify and count words that are between the end of the table and the next H3.
#Word counter google docs update
Some of these documents have dozens or even hundreds of these individual sections (table, with text below until the next table) so having some way to automatically update that field would be incredible. Then if I edit the section below, I repeat that process. The table has columns with various info, but one of them is "words" and currently I have to manually highlight that section below, go up to the "Tools" find "Word Count" and then see what it is. I'm using a text doc that has a bunch of tables and each table has a paragraph, two, three of text below it, not as part of the table itself. ▪︎V3.What I'm looking to do is NOT in Google Sheets, but regular Google Docs wordprocessor. ▪︎V4.0 Reading time estimate and input validation Added option to make counting algorithm more similar to Google Docs behaviour. Added option to disable exclusion of table of contents. ▪︎V5.0 Generate word report now shows words that were excluded. ▪︎V6.0 Major update to core counting method and bugfixes ▪︎V6.1 Bugfixes (core counting method table) ▪︎There will not be support for tracking word count over time. ▪︎For error reporting, try to include console log or any error messages.
▪︎If you're using the addon for long periods, you may want to check the slow update box to ensure that you don't hit the maximum quota. Unfortunately, this is a problem on google's side and I can't directly fix it. For Chrome users, problems may also arise if you are not using your primary account. ▪︎If it does not load, check if you're using multiple accounts, in that case, you can log out of all accounts or use incognito mode. ▪︎ Analyses your document and provides a detailed breakdown of word count by chapter or subchapter through the use of paragraph styles. ▪︎Text in paragraphs starting with KeywordĮg.
▪︎Everything after and including the paragraph starting with Keyword "1.2 Introduction into" or "1.5.3 My header"
▪︎Text in paragraphs starting with x.x eg. "Title", "Subtitle", "Header1", "Header2", etc Do write in if there are major errors or bugs.Įg. This word counter should be relatively accurate though there may be slight discrepancies since every word counter considers what should be a word differently. There's more, whether you need to hit a minimum word count or reduce your word count to be within the limit for your assignment, you can set targets for that. Unlike the default word counter, you will be able to set exclusions to ignore certain text and you can generate detailed reports for your document.

Word Counter Max for Google Docs is a totally free add-on that I wrote to display the live word count of the current document even for lengthy documents of 5000 words or more.
