You can set the article word count by controlling the number of headings within an article outline.

In Advanced Mode and Optimize Mode, you can control the number of headings which will show the estimated word count on the screen.

For 1-click articles, you can set the article to short (500-1500 words), standard (1000-3000 words) and long (>2000 words).
