![]() I've edited the script to omit from count if words are highlighted in yellow. The subject of word count has come up before on stackoverflow without a fool proof counter.īasically it skips the header, keeps track of the following table to fill in the word count then counts the words between the table and next header. If there is a tab or some other character the count may be off. The word count may not be accurate as this script only uses a space as a seperator between words. I've developed a script for your specific situation. I am running Lubuntu 20.04LTS, using Chrome as the browser, if that makes a difference. There are a few small additional things to consider but just knowing if that's possible would be great. Here's a link to a document showing what I'm hoping to do: link Is there any way to have a cell of the table look at the text below and calculate the wordcount?Įach table has a H3 title above it, so my thought would be to somehow identify and count words that are between the end of the table and the next H3. Some of these documents have dozens or even hundreds of these individual sections (table, with text below until the next table) so having some way to automatically update that field would be incredible. Then if I edit the section below, I repeat that process. The table has columns with various info, but one of them is "words" and currently I have to manually highlight that section below, go up to the "Tools" find "Word Count" and then see what it is. I'm using a text doc that has a bunch of tables and each table has a paragraph, two, three of text below it, not as part of the table itself. What I'm looking to do is NOT in Google Sheets, but regular Google Docs wordprocessor.
