@@TheOrganizedWriter Yes. Sorry, I meant I want it to be able to count the words on a page and then display it in a column on the main database page for that writing assignment. As of now, I get the word count, then fill in a column, then have a formula next to that to determine if i have reached my word count goal for that piece. (if that makes sense)
Ah, I see. Yes, it would be great to have word counts available to database setups. I haven't had the problem yet, because I write the actual texts for my projects in other apps, while using Notion for planning, structuring and persisting deatuls. I guess I should consider writing in Notion too at some point..
@@TheOrganizedWriter I never thought I would be using Notion for my actual text, but I started to a few months ago and found myself loving it. Everything about your stories is all in one place. I have been writing my full first draft in a Notion Page and then moving the text over to a word doc file. Then edit and revise from there.

Now we just need Notion to be able to simple count words on a page lol
Have you seen the "Word count" line at the bottom of the drop-down menu behind the three dots in the upper right corner of any page?

Nice! Do you use one single Notion page for the whole draft then, or separate into scenes or other parts?
