Use this interactive demo to learn how to check the word count in your PowerPoint presentation.

Quick summary

PowerPoint does not display a visible word count by default, but you can find the total word count for your presentation through the File tab under document properties. This built-in method works across all modern versions of Microsoft PowerPoint without any add-ins.


Steps

  1. Click the File tab in the top-left corner of PowerPoint.
  2. Select Info from the left-hand menu.
  3. Locate the Properties section on the right side and click Show All Properties.
  4. Check the Words count listed in the presentation details.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to find the word count in PowerPoint is essential for anyone preparing presentations that must meet specific content or accessibility requirements. Microsoft PowerPoint hides this detail inside document properties, making it easy to miss without guidance. This demo shows users exactly where the word count stat lives — saving time and eliminating guesswork. Whether you are a student, educator, or business professional, quickly verifying slide word count helps keep presentations concise and on target.
