How can I count numbers of specific letter in a word document

[andy222222222222]

I have to count specific number of letters (a, t, g, and
c) for research purpose in a document. How can I do that
in word 2000?

Same as in any other version of Word. Search for the specific letter and
replace it with itself. When the Find and Replace operation is completed,
Word will tell you how many replacements it made. Low-tech but effective.

Run the following macro on the document and it will create a list of all of
the characters at the end of it with the number of times that each appears:

Dim i As Long, j As Long
For i = 65 To 122
j = 0
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:=Chr(i), MatchWildcards:=False,
MatchCase:=True, Wrap:=wdFindStop, Forward:=True) = True
j = j + 1
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With
ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter Chr(i) & vbTab & j & vbCr
Next i
