In order to have the word count feature, you must be using Word as your email editor.   If you had word count at one time but lost the feature, that's an indication you've changed a setting in Outlook.  To get back to using Word as you email editor in Outlook, go to Tools, Options, Mail Format, and check the box for "Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit e-mail messages".
