   I have recently updated to Word 2016 and am very frustrated by the lack of live word count - came online to find out if I was just missing something, and found this thread. I am a university lecturer and, apart from being useful in my own writing, this helps me advise students on where to edit etc. I can't believe that this facility has been removed - definitely a backward step. Please fix!!
