Status Bar in Word 2013 doesn't show many features

Hi Guys!

I am using office 365 home and I have a problem in word. Features like word count and line number do not show in the status bar even though they are activated. Please tell me how to fix this as I really need this for my schoolwork. 

Thanks in advance

P.S. Line number starts working sometimes but word count is a major problem.

Have you right-clicked on the status bar and checked each item you want displayed? Many status bar items are not displayed if you are in Web Layout view; switch to Print Layout, and you will see them.
