yes... that's how... and you can also highlight just the part you want a count on, before you do that... if you don't highlight anything, it gives the total in the entire document, including titles and such...

File > Properties > the "statistics" tab
A touch more complicated, but has wordcount and several similar stats.

I had never used "word count" - should have taken a look at it first.
