Hello, I'm looking for a word processor (other than Microsoft Word) that has a live character count. I've seen this function in the Q10 freeware word processor, but I'm reluctant to download it as it hasn't been updated for several years. Please, can anybody help?
Thank you
Thank you

The Writer component of LibreOffice would appear to display a live character count:
