Grey Dingo was telling us:
Grey Dingo nous racontait que :

I get different results if I use Word Count on a complete cell in Word
(selected by clicking the small, bold arrow off to the side), versus
selecting the text within the cell.

I bet you always get one more when you use the first method...

This is because Word counts the End of Cell marker (¤) as a word.
