Using Microsoft Word to Figure Keyword Density

I am using Microsoft office word 2002, and have been using it for years. I use it for writing everything I need to include my articles out here. Having taught Microsoft office suite I know it inside and out, so for this article I am going to explain how you can find keyword density with it.

Let's face it keyword density is paramount to selling an article out here on the super information highway. For anyone who has spent anytime out here writing a web site or any type of content out here you need to have a high percentage of keyword density.

So what is a keyword? A keyword is the focal point of an article. Since this article is going to be about keyword density, my keywords would be keyword and density but it's also Microsoft word because that is going to come up more the usual. Keywords are words that come up the most times in an article. They are what people search for within search engines.

Now that we've established that, what is keyword density? It's the number of times one of the keywords appears in an article versus the amount of other words, and then you would need to divide them out and get your percentage. Since I am writing this article now I don't have a final count of any words but I will discus that closer to the end of the article.

Finding your Keyword density.

Open your Microsoft word and a then open file you've been working on. Under edit on the word toolbar you will see edit and under edit you will see 'find' click it and another little box fills in and type in one of the words you think is repeated often in your article.

For instance for this article I am writing about keyword density or I would type one of those words in there. I often hit the highlight all check box, this highlights all instances of the word I typed in. While the words are still highlighted I go to Tools on the top toolbar, and select word count. This counts how many times I have used that particular word within the document.
