Count Anything - Great tool for counting powerpoint presentations with hidden text boxes
Mar 21, 2018

Kind regards, Caroline Rösler

I went to http://ginstrom.com/software/powerpoint2doc/ as suggested and downloaded the program, but I still do not know how to use it. I do not see the button nor in Power Point nor in Word for use of this word count. What am I missing? Thank you. Natasa - [email protected]
Late reply, but check Tools >> Toolbars and make sure that the toolbar is checked.
Another software utility that will count the words in PowerPoint files is CountAnything: ginstrom.com/CountAnything/
