In Linux I would simply use wc. But in Windows if you have 
the text in the form of either a text file or a doc file you can 
import it into Open Office Writer, highlight the particular 
passage, and then activate the word count function. 

All Open Source programs are free of cost. It pays to have 
some of the better known ones, Open Office, Gimp 
Ghostscript suite etc. on your system even if you use them 
only occasionally.
