Default Odd word counting behavior in Word tables

(Using Word 2002 in Office XP. All updates etc in place.)

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.

Default Odd word counting behavior in Word tables

Hi Bob

Yes, it's a known problem, and not the only problem with counting words in
tables.

Hope this helps.
