Is it possible to identify text that can then be excluded from the word count
? I'm currently using Word for academic assignment assembly and current
academic assessment rules allow exclusion of all academic citations from the
word count. On large submissions I do not want to have to manually count all
the words associated with citation and then deduct this from the word count
total. Alternatively if I could highlight the text I do not want counted when
initially inserted Word could accurately calculate the count for me. I
believe the rule on citation exclusion applies to all tertiary education
submissions so this feature may be helpful for lots of global users.

..If you hide the those citations word will exclude them from word count and
then you can unhide them
