The Word Count utility counts all words in the document. Is there a way to count the number of characters or words in a piece of selected text?

Until you get an answer you like better, with the text highlighted, right-click, copy, paste into empty LibreOffice Writer document:
Tools > Word Count

It would be very vomiting if there was this feature in Dreamweaver. It would help a lot.

I think you answered my question -- it isn't possible to do within FrameMaker :-(
