fqpissed Word Pad

I'm trying to figure out how to do a word count on a document.
I am told the toolbar should look loike this:
File Edit View Insert Format Tools
Spelling and Grammar
Language
Word Count

but I don't have a button that says Tools and can't figure out how to put one there if it indeed exists.

I think you need MS Word, not Word Pad, for that.

Yes, you need a basic, full word processing application. There are some free ones... wordstar, I think, is one.
EDIT:
Actually, I was thinking of OfficeStar but just found that one ain't free. But this one is:

I just downloaded it and it is sweet! Got a lot of features I like so far.
