    I need to find how many time a certain keyword is used in a block of text.

    I wrote an 800 article and I would like to see how many times I used the word business? Is there some sort of search that will tell me how many times this word appears?

    I am using MS Word.....

    I don't know about MS Word but there are plenty of online tools that will help you to find the keyword density.. just search for keyword density checker in Google and paste your article on the webpage to learn about the keyword density

    should be able to search for the term and see how many results come back for the searched term

    OK I actually found that using the find/replace function will figure this out

    With that kind of density it's easy to run out of fingers and toes.

    Yeah, what I do is just do Find, make sure the cursor is at the top of the page, count up each instance. Then use basic math to figure it up. Honestly though, why is this such a huge deal to you? I guess a lot of people are really stuck on this keyword density thing. Just make sure that your keyword is put in where it can be wtihout making it looked stuffed and having it look natural. Typically, if the article is on a related topic, the keyword will be in there in more than enough places with a good quality writer. Good luck!
