EDIT (Melanie Tolomeo 5/3/11):

Counting Occurrences of One Particular Word In middle school, my Language Arts teacher had a "Like" jar. We had to donate a penny every time we said the word "Like" inappropriately in a sentence. We learned that repeating words takes away from what you're actually trying to say. Wouldn't it be useful to easily see if you used any words excessively in your Microsoft Word document? Or even to know how many times you used a word? You can! You can use the Find and Replace tool mentioned above creatively so that it lists the number of occurrences of a certain word. This would be useful in circumstances where, say, you are trying to write a book using the word "the" exactly 4392 times. Here are a few simple steps:
 * Step 1:** Hit Ctrl+H to get to the Replace tab of the Find&Replace option..
 * Step 2:** In the Find What box, enter what you want to be counted.
 * Step 3:** In the Replace With box, enter **^&**. This is a symbol that means that you want to replace the word with itself.
 * Step 4:** If you are searching for individual words, check the "Find Whole Words Only." This is to ensure that if you're looking for the word "wish" all the occurrences of "is" aren't included.
 * Step 5:** Click on "Replace All." The number of Replacements is the number of times the word is used.

Enjoy!
