Hi Navi thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Unfortunately Lucidchart currently doesn't have a tool for providing word or character count in documents. However I certainly understand how this could be useful! Would you mind adding your thoughts to this Product Feedback Space? Ideas submitted here are passed along to our development team for their consideration when prioritizing different improvements to the product. Any details about how this would benefit your specific use case would be very valuable! 

Thanks for your request and apologies for the inconvenience. Let me know if you have additional questions!
