If you need to check the word count or page count of a paper you're working on in PERRLA Online, both options are built into the paper editor. The instructions below assume you have your paper open on the Editor tab.
Page Count
- Click the View menu in the Editor's toolbar.
- Click Show Page Count.
A Document Page Count box will load with a breakdown of pages by section – Title Page, Abstract, Body, References, and Appendices – along with a total page count for the entire paper.
Word Count
- Click the View menu in the Editor's toolbar.
- Click Show Word Count.
A word counter will appear at the bottom of the window. You can click into the body, abstract, or appendices sections to see a separate word count for each. To turn the word counter off, click the View menu again and choose Hide Word Count.
