Word doesn't have a field for this. You can select the text on the page, do
a Word count, and manually type in the result, but there's no way to do this
automatically. It would be handy if the NUMWORDS field would accommodate a
bookmark switch so that you could select the page text and bookmark it, but
unfortunately, it doesn't.

I need to print the word count of the page at the bottom of each page.
