While it is not possible to exclude what’s in brackets and quotes from the word-count in Microsoft Word or Pages you can use a web tool designed to do it for you, called Excludify:
http://www.excludify.com
You simply upload your .docx / .doc file or copy & paste your text into the textbox. Scroll down to see all the excluded brackets & quotes. Include the ones that are actually part of the word-count back in. Your ‘real’ word count will appear in the header.
Excludify is pretty neat, and I’ve been using it constantly to check my ‘real’ word count when I wrote my EE. I even upgraded to pro so it would remember what I wanted in-and what outside my word-count each time I came back to re-count the essay.
