Word Count is a free word counter that batch counts words across several file types such as Portable Document Format (PDF), Microsoft Word 2003 documents (DOC), Microsoft Word 2007 (DOCX), Rich Text Format (RTF) and Text Documents (TXT). Word Count allows you add together the word counts of any number of files saved in a directory. It includes an option to search for all documents within directories that reside within the chosen root directory. Word count will display the total number of words within each individual file and also display the cumulative number of words across the files.
