Word Count

I've setup a Macintosh service that counts words and characters in a highlighted selection of text. To use this in Workflowy I zoom into a particular section of an outline, select Export from the dropdown menu, and then right-click on the highlighted text to select my word/character count service.

It would be great if Workflowy could display a word and character count somewhere in the header of a zoomed outline section. Something unobtrusive but visible.

  This uses the same basic idea as the OP, but is a one click affair. It displays word count in a banner message.
