Determine word and character counts
1. Place the insertion point in a text frame to view counts for the entire thread of frames (the story), or select text to view counts only for the
selected text.
2. Choose Window > Info to display the Info panel.
The Info panel displays the number of characters, words, lines, and paragraphs in a text frame. The position of the insertion point within the text
frame also appears.
Working with additional languages
You can assign languages to different text. Assigning the appropriate language to text is especially useful for spell-checking and hyphenating. (See
Assign a language to text.)
If you need to work with Asian text, special versions of InDesign are available for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
These versions let you create layout grids and frame grids for composing multibyte characters, and they include a number of features for
formatting multibyte text, along with additional fonts.
Similarly, a special version of InDesign is available for formatting Middle Eastern languages, such as Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu, that use
right-to-left text formatting. This version is called InDesign ME.
For more information on purchasing InDesign ME or an Asian-language version of InDesign, see the Adobe website.
