**This capability only exists in the suite.** There is no standalone app for it, which is one of the reasons to buy the suite rather than individual apps.

## Where to find it

Capabilities appear in the Capable navigation, in the Capable byline on a page, and as macros in the macro picker, depending on what each one offers. An administrator can hide any capability site-wide, and a space administrator can control whether it shows in their space.

In the editor the macro is reached by typing a slash command, where it is listed as Capable Word Count.

![A bar across a Confluence page reading 1,567 characters, 211 words and 43 paragraphs, below bulleted page content.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/54fc0dbd-0d8b-4a99-9c16-e615bffd621d.webp)

Placed as a macro, the counts render as a single bar wherever it sits, and they cover the whole page rather than the text around it.
