How do I see the keyword density in Microsoft Word?

Is there any way to see the keyword density of a text in Microsoft Word?

If I recall correctly this was available in Word 2003 and it came extremely handy when it came to detecting overused words.

I've searched through every page and setting available without being able to find an option.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about; a keyword density calculator basically just gives out a list of the most used words in the text (excluding stopwords).  At the moment I'm using character counter which works fine, but I don't want to have to change tabs and enter it into a website each time.

So back to the question - how do I enable the keyword density counter in Microsoft Word?

    You cannot realistically  compare 2003 with current versions.

    There is no "keyword density tool" in Word. There are third part add-ins that do the same, some I believe are free 

    Search in Bing/google

    Well, Word 2003 is an older version so you would assume that newer versions would have the same features along with new ones, but I guess that's not the case here then.

    Perhaps the keyword density calculator that I was using, was an add-on and I'm really not sure as it was already installed on my old job.

    I guess I'll have to look for an add-on.
