Hi Bob
Yes, it's a known problem, and not the only problem with counting words in
tables.
Hope this helps.

I just discovered that you can count the words in a single cell in a table
if you highlight just the words but if you highlight the whole cell or
more than one cell, Word counts all the words in the document, not just
the ones in the highlighted cells or even the table.
