Jonathan has attended:
Word Advanced course
Range limited word count
How would I apply a word count to only part of a document? This would be for academic work where the bibliography and appendices are excluded from word count but footnotes included.
For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability
RE: Range limited word count
Hello Jonathan
To apply a word count for only part of a document select the text first. Then click Review, Word Count.
Footnotes and endnotes are included if they are referenced within the selected text.
So the easiest way for you would be...
1. Click just before where your bibliography and appendices start.
2. Press Shift + Ctl + Home to highlight from there to the beginning of your document.
3. Click Review, Word Count (or view the Word Count in the Status Bar).
To see the Word Count in the Status Bar right click on the Status Bar and check there is a tick next to Word Count.
Example 1000/1100 means 1000 words are in the selected text including footnotes out of a total document word count of 1100).

RE: Range limited word count
Sorry the object is to insert into a document the number of words within the body of the document excluding bibliography and appendices. How would I therefore display a word count between two bookmarks or within particular sections?
RE: Range limited word count
Hi Jonathan
Sorry I've checked there is no convienient way to insert the number of words for a Section. There is a way using a macro but that may be beyond what you are wanting.
Take a look if you want to go down the macro route.
