Hi Millie,

Yes, there's a NUMWORDS field, which you can create by pressing Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{ }') then typing
'NUMWORDS' between the field braces, thus '{NUMWORDS}', and pressing F9. Note two things about this:
1. Word's idea of a word count isn't what you might expect. For example, decimal numbers with thousands separators will be counted
as multiple words.
2. The NUMWORDS field will count itself when you update it.

Is it possible to insert a word count in the footer of a Word document
similar to inserting the date & time whenever a document is changed?
