Ella, A manual quick and dirty way is to copy the label text, paste it into Word and use the word count under the review menu. Conversely, you can have them write the label copy in Word and then paste into the TMS field.

Either a large text field or text entries is fine. I have curators interested in composing label copy in tms, but I need to have an answer to the word count hurdle.
