Word count
I was just wondering if it is possible to exclude certain things e.g. tables,

One way would be to select only the parts you want counted (hold Ctrl and drag to add disconnected parts of the text, or maybe use the "Highlight all items found in" option of the Find dialog) and then look at the word count. A similar method would be to take a word count of the whole document, then take a word count of the parts you want to exclude, and subtract the second count from the first. If you need to do this often, and the criteria for what to exclude are always the same, a macro could be made to do it with one click. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
