How AnyCount make a Word Count, Character Count, Page Count and Line Count for DOCX Files
Word count settings window for DOCX file format:

The AnyCount word count tool is able to optionally ignore texts in identical headers/footers and hidden text.
AnyCount and MS Word
As a rule, AnyCount count results are similar to those provided by MS Word statistics feature, but sometimes there can be differences. The reasons for the difference are the following:
- AnyCount optionally counts headers, footers, text boxes, shapes, embedded and linked objects, comments, and notes, whereas MS Word up to version 2003 does not. MS Word 2007 counts text boxes, shapes, footnotes, and endnotes, which means that you may get different results by counting the same file in MS Word 2003 and MS Word 2007.
- However, AnyCount does not count text format elements (e. g. list bullets), because they represent the result of formatting only, and MS Word does.
For example, let’s select the DOCX file for the word count:
The results by AnyCount:
- counting characters with spaces

- counting characters without spaces




As a matter of fact, other desktop programs as well as online word counting services were also used for verification.
