Counting the use of a word

Papyrus Questions & Help

Hello

Is there a way that you can count the use of any given word? As I have obviously a few crutch words that are overused and I will have to edit them out, but it would be handy, or even just a laugh to know how many times I use some words.

Cheers
Christine

Hi,

Absolutely! :clap:

If you go to “Document” → “Document Statistics”, there’s a “Word Frequency” tab that does exactly what you’re looking for. Plus, a bunch of other fine-grain info to nerd out on :nerd_face:

:bulb: If you want to highlight a word across your book, you can do that in Find and Replace:

  1. Hit CTRL + F (or go to “Edit” → “Find/Replace”) to open it.
  2. Type the word into the “Find” field.
  3. Click “Mark”.

→ The word will now be highlighted everywhere in your book.
