    Hi Jerry,

    Sorry, but neither Notepad or Wordpad supports character/word count they are too basic for that

    Click the link below to download Notepad++

    That is a tine free application that is like Notepad on steroids with a lot more functionality

    If you double click around 'Length' in status bar you will get a character count, word count . . . etc.

    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.8.html

    Windows 10 Character Map and Notepad

    Well I found the answer to my question. I should have thought through this a little longer.

    Notepad is native in ANSI mode.
    However Wordpad can work in UTF-8 mode.
    I found steps to make Notepad usable in UTF-8 mode but there are a lot of steps and once again there has to be a registry hack to make it work.
    Now how do I make Workpad be listed in the most used application through the Start Menu?
