Thanks for your reply.

I agreee "word" can be a fuzzy concept, but I know exactly what I want it to
mean. Would it be possible to maybe create a macro that does a word count
according to my needs? Or could I somehow see the code that the word count
uses so I can tell what it is picking up?

I can't see why anyone would want to include bullet points in a word count.
Wouldn't it be easy to discount them?

Hi nrowson,

no way,

"word" is a fuzzy concept of the on fuzzy
principles working human brain.

Code you may find,
may work on a specific text,
may work reasonably well on your text, too,
but there is no genuine solution.
