How to Find the Page and Word Count in Google Docs

Whether you’ve been given an assignment with a strict limit or you just like knowing how many words you’ve written, Google Docs has your back. Here’s how to see exactly how many words or pages you’ve typed in your document.

How to Find the Page and Word Count

Finding the page and word count is an easy process that is integrated into Google Docs.

The first thing you want to do is fire up Google Docs and open the document for which you want to get the count. Click “Tools” and click on “Word Count.” Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Shift+C (on Windows) or Command+Shift+C (on macOS).

That’s it! The word count window pops up and shows you a list of different counts related to your document, including the number of pages, words, characters, and characters excluding spaces.

If you only want to check the count of a specific paragraph—or sentence—in your document, select the text first and then go to Tools > Word Count (or press the key combos) to open the tool.

Deal Alert: Grab These Roku Wireless Speakers for $149

If you want to bring your Roku TV’s sound to the next level, then you’ll need a proper set of speakers. But why bother with some tangly old-fashioned speakers, when the Roku wireless speaker is on sale for $149?

The Roku wireless speakers are designed to work exclusively with the Roku TV, and they aren’t your average pair of wireless speakers. They’re easy to set up, they can mount on your wall, and they look incredible.

Of course, the Roku wireless speakers have outstanding sound quality. Quiet dialog-heavy scenes will sound clear and crisp, and you’ll be able to feel the violent bass of your favorite song or movie.

These speakers also come with a Roku TV voice remote and a Roku Touch tabletop remote so you can use voice commands to switch through playlists and movies from your couch or your kitchen. These remotes are usually priced at $30 each, and their inclusion makes this deal even sweeter.

Roku wireless speakers usually retail at $200, but Roku is offering them at $149 right now. They come bundled with $60 worth of TV remotes, which is just icing on the cake. Just don’t wait too long on this deal, because it’ll be gone before you know it.

Huawei Will Reveal a 5G Foldable Phone This Month at MWC

We’ve speculated that Huawei will show a 5G foldable phone at MWC 2019. Occasionally, a good tech rumor comes true.

No, MWC isn’t a wrestling championship, It’s Mobile World Congress, one of the biggest three-day mobile-focused tech shows in the world. Based in Barcelona, MWC has become a popular spot for manufacturers to reveal their products, and it’s turned every February into a competitive month for phone manufacturers.

In case you haven’t noticed, this has definitely been a competitive month for phone manufacturers. There are all kinds of rumors floating around about 5G and foldable technology, and Samsung has been strategically showing off advanced new hardware.

Today, Huawei took things a step further. Yang ChaoBin, President of Huawei’s 5G Product Line, took the stage at a Huawei pre-MWC briefing to discuss how advanced AI and 5G technology will be used for Huawei products in 2019. While thanking the audience for their patience, he casually announced that Huawei will reveal a 5G foldable phone on February 24th at MWC 2019.

“We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona in Februrary, where we will launch the world’s first 5G smartphone with a foldable screen.”

As you can imagine, Huawei is probably trying to build some hype for its MWC conference. But the company may have also dropped this announcement to avoid being overshadowed by Samsung. There are rumors floating around that Samsung will reveal its foldable phone—which it already teased late last year—via livestream four days before Huawei takes the stage at MWC. If these rumors are true (they are, let’s be real here), then people may be too caught up in Samsung’s foldable to notice Huawei’s announcement.

If you’re trying to attend this historic conference, then you’ll want to buy tickets ASAP, because Huawei’s keynote is on February 24th, 2PM Barcelona time. Or you can try to catch a livestream at 8AM EST, whatever floats your boat.

Dr. Mario Returns on Android and iOS This Summer

The Doctor is in…or at least he will be later this year. Nintendo announced this morning that it was planning on bringing one of its first puzzle games, Dr. Mario, to mobile platforms this summer.

Dr. Mario debuted on the original NES console nearly thirty years ago, with a winning combination of Tetris-style gameplay, randomized hazards on the puzzle boards, and fantastic 8-bit music. The series has seen a few revivals over the years, notably on the Nintendo 64, Wii, and 3DS. Dr. Mario World will be the title of the new mobile game.

Phones are a particularly good fit for puzzle games thanks to easy touch controls and bite-sized play sessions: the smash hits of Bejeweled and Candy Crush demonstrate the natural synergy of the platform. Like most successful mobile games, Nintendo will offer the game for free with in-app purchases for power-ups.

Dr. Mario World is being co-developed with mobile publisher LINE, and it joins existing Nintendo franchises Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem, and Animal Crossing on mobile. Other upcoming Nintendo mobile games include Mario Kart Tour (expected later this year) and a new Legend of Zelda title.
