Free word plus software for windows

Word Count Plus sits unobtrusively in the status bar of the active window, where it shows you the number of currently selected words. You can choose to add that number to a counter, in which case you will also see a running total.
Main features:
- Can count selected words in a focused textarea or text input box. Notice that the box must have the focus.
- Has primitive character counting abilities. The character count doesnt show up in the status bar and you cant copy it to the clipboard or do anything with it really, but if you want to see the selected and total character counts, you can hover in the status bar panel and they show up in the tool tip text.
System requirements:
- Firefox 1.5 or higher

Enhancements:
- Minor code clean up in this version.
