Word Count also fails if the selection is a table column.
(It also fails for Alt+Drag selections of ordinary text, but this is understandable I guess...) I assume that whoever coded Word Count simply neglected to test for all the different types of selections that are possible, and his case statement fell out the bottom to "count everything". It is probably easy enough to fix Word Count for table cells and columns "just" by testing for those types of selections and counting what is selected. It already works for discontiguous selections, so table cells and columns ought to be possible. Someone would have to point this out to them, and some programmer would have to be interested enough to sneak it in despite the product managers.

If you use the 'White' (whole row) selection arrow on the 2nd single row table (where it now finds the end of row/table marker it counts the selection correctly. If you use the black selection (single cell/range) selection arrow Word does not see that you've 'selected' part of the document and appears to give the count for the whole document. ====== "Grey Dingo" wrote in message ...
