Word Count with Google Docs and Our Old Friend Menu Bar

I wanted to count how many words my draft. There may be convenient online tools, but you can also use Google Docs.
My current goal is making a 500 word article one week.

Thanks to the help, I made it.
First, I looked for what icon to click, for many google apps like gmail, many function was shown by icons instead of words.
However, the "Tool" menu, which "Word Count" function belongs to was shown by a word, in a menu bar.
At first I was surprised a bit. In Google Chrome and Gmail, you don't see a menu bar like another legacy Windows apps.

Here's what I did, after a bit of detour.
1. Open Google Docs and create new document.
2. Copy my draft and paste it on the new document.
3. Select all
4. While selecting all my draft, click "Tools" on (our old friend) menu bar on the top of the app.
5. Select "Word count" from the drop down menu under "Tools" of the menu bar

Here I got the word count of my writing, with 216 words.

I could use spelling and grammar checker in this tools menu, maybe next time.
