Word Count (All Tabs)

A Google Docs add-on that counts words and characters across every tab in your document — including nested child tabs.

Google Docs’ built-in counter only looks at the tab you’re currently on. This tool adds it all up.

What it shows

  • Total tabs (including nested ones)
  • Total words
  • Total characters
  • Total characters excluding spaces

How it works

Open any Google Doc, go to Extensions → Word Count (All Tabs) → Open Word Count, and the sidebar counts automatically.

Hit Refresh Results any time after editing.

Everything runs inside your own Google account — nothing is stored or sent anywhere. Read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
