          This can be achieved with the TextFX plugin for Notepad++.




          1. Install the plugin by clicking Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager

          2. Check TextFX Characters in the list of available plugins and click Install (Notepad++ will need to restart to finish the installation)

          3. After installation finishes, you can view the word count for the selected text by going to the TextFX menu, selecting TextFX Tools and finally Word Count:

              • But as you say, it is the number of chars, not the number of words. He is asking for the number of words in the selected text.

              In Notepad++ you can get the words count in two ways




              1. In menu, View => summary

              2. In status bar, Double click on the length: <some_number>, line : <some_number> then you can see words count in a pop up windows


              enter image description here
