This can be achieved with the TextFX plugin for Notepad++.
- Install the plugin by clicking Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager
- Check TextFX Characters in the list of available plugins and click Install (Notepad++ will need to restart to finish the installation)
- 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:
