I should be able to count a particular word in a document.

[Guest]

I was reviewing a testing document. I need to know how many time I need to
perform a particular task example: "ASSURE", "CLICK", "OPEN", "CREATE, etc.
Knowing the number of times (TASK-COUNT) a task has to be perfomed will help
in planning the time need to perfom a particular task, which one takes/needs
more time than the other and why. In addition, TASK-COUNT may lead/ help
optimize the testing processes through integration of few simple tasks.

You can do this now. Open the Replace dialog. Enter the word you want
to count into the Find box. Enter the code ^& in the Replace box (or
click the More button, click in the Replace box, click the Special
button, and choose "Find what text"). Click the Replace All button.
This replaces the word with itself -- so there's no visible change --
and then displays a dialog that says how many times it found the word.
