Default Exclude tables from word count

Hello,
Is it possible to exclude the words inside a table when running the word
count tool? If so, how is it done?

Thanks a lot!

You could Select All (Ctrl-A) and then Shift-Select the text in the
table to unselect it; with several tables, _maybe_ you can Ctrl-Select
the text in more than one at a time. (I don't really trust the
multiple-select features)

Thanks for your response,
Your suggestion is quite tedious is you have a lot of tables of different
sizes and formats.

I was wondering whether someone has written an add-in or the VBA code for a
macro to do this task.
