Select your text and then go TextFX -> TextFX Tools -> Word Count
(don’t see the TextFX menu? scroll down!)

If you don’t see the TextFX menu you might need to install the plug-in. In my experience it seems like sometimes Notepad++ comes with this installed and other times it doesn’t.
- Go to
Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager

- Select
TextFX Charactersand then clickInstall.
