This Microsoft Word Tips & Microsoft Word Help page provides a Word template add-in to facilitate calculating and reporting word usage and frequency in a document. The add-in provides user interface via a UserForm to select report options. The add-in can report:
The reported words can be sorted by descending frequency of use or alphabetically. A report can be provided as a separate document or appended to the existing document.
The add-in was created using Word 2003 and is wholly functional with Word 2007/2010. A report can be initiated using either the custom menu item or toolbar "Usage Report." In Word 2007/2010 a report is initiated from the Add-Ins tab.
Download the template here: Word Usage and Frequency.zip.
For more on template add-ins and how to load them, see the heading: Organizing Your Macros/Template Add-ins at: Installing Macros
Special thanks to Word MVP Doug Robbins who several years ago provided me the boilerplate code for parts of this template.
That's it! I hope you have found this Microsoft Word Help & Tips page useful and informative.
