Can you exclude things from the word count?
Don't you get the same effect just by toggling Show/Hide Hidden Text?
The problem is still marking all those discontinuous globs of text.

Hi Peter,
Hidden text *is* counted when the print hidden text option is active. This gives one the ability to mark the references as hidden
text and, by toggling between the print/not print hidden text options, get the word count or print the document with/without hidden
text.

Not without considerable tedium, though it might be possible to create
a macro to do this?
Using Ctrl-Clicking and dragging, select all but the references (when
text is selected, word displays the count of selected text: if not
directly in the status bar, then when you click on the count number
there); or, format each reference as Hidden text. (Word doesn't count
Hidden text.)

Hi,
I'm writing an essay in which the tutor would like us to not include the
references (Author and Date) within the word count. Is there a way that I can
exclude any words within the brackets from the word count as they all have
different names etc?
Thanks
