Field for getting word count in a section
I want to put a field in a table cell that, when updated, accurately counts the number of words in a specified section of a Word document and puts the value in the table cell. Note that section could be the whole of the document, a named/numbered section, a page or range of pages, or even a "selection." I am not interested in the working feature of selecting text and using Tools-Word Count. I am interested in the use of the Word 'field' version that implements this feature. |

Field for getting word count in a section
It would be handy if the NumWords field had a switch to allow you to
reference a bookmark; then you could bookmark the text you want to count. Unfortunately, it doesn't, so you'll need a macro. -- Suzanne S.
