How to count words from an article OFFLINE?

Need to generate a keyword density.

Hi guys,

I need to count all words and make the keywords from that. The articles are not on the net, they are offline.

So maybe You know any tool (like MS Word Macros or so) using which I could count my words in an article?

Thanks a lot.

Two ideas, assuming the document is in Word format:

1: If you've got an online tool that will do what you want, copy the file to HTML, post it somewhere, and do your online word count.

2: Do a Find & Replace in Word, replacing spaces with carriage returns (^p). That should get you one word per line. Then copy into Excel, with one column, with one word per row. Do a pivot table with your word column in the row field, and count of word in the data area. That pivot table will get you a count of unique words in the document.
