In Word 2010 and 2007, to get to the word count window you click on "Words: ###" At the bottom of every document.
This Window then shows you the various word and character counts.
This can also be found under the 'Review' tab.
In Word 2003 you need to go to Tools > Word Count and the Word Count window then appears.
Hope that helps.
Another easy way to count characters in a word (or any other document) is to copy and paste it into an online character counter tool like
