Hello. I have a strict word limit for a paper I'm writing, but internal
reference citations -e.g., (Smit et al., 1996) are not counted in the word
limit. There is no function, however, for excluding internal citations, as
there is with footnotes and endnotes. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to
do the word count the without counting these internal citations? Microsoft's
helpline was unable to offer a solution.

I created the bibliography using EndNote X2, which merges and updates the
references into the document; so every instance is in a field between
parantheses/brackets. I know there is a an option to select "field" in the
Find &Replace funtion, but after the ^d comes up, I don't know what to put.

I don't know visual Basic and have very little experience with Macros; so if
there's any way to do this without those methods, that would be great. Many
thanks.
