Word: 'Give all nouns that appear >X times' not working as expected
Method 1: Using Word's Find function
1. Press Ctrl + F to open the search box.
2. Type in the noun you want to count (e.g. book).
3. Word will display “X matches” (i.e., the number of occurrences) in the lower left corner.
Method 2: Step-by-Step Query with Copilot
1. First, let Copilot list all nouns:
2. Enter: “List all nouns in this document.”
3. Manually copy to Excel, with = COUNTIF statistics on the number of occurrences.
Method 3: Online word frequency statistics tool
1. Copy all the text in Word (Ctrl + A → Ctrl + C).
2. Paste it into Word Frequency Counter.
3. Click “Analyze Text” to see the number of occurrences of all words.

Hi Lauradosh ,
Thanks!
Method 1 is nog really handy for me as I don't already have a list of the nouns.
I will try method 2 so as not to put our company data in an external application (method 3).
Many thanks again, pity though that Copilot cannot do this...
Cheers,
Merel
