------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 11 23:44:34 -0800 2005 ------- OpenOffice 2.0 word count does not discriminate between words in the body of a document and words in footnotes, endnotes, headers and footers. Microsoft Word does not count these, and I believe it is a better approach, as counting those is misleading to someone writing a document that has lots of references a verbose header/footer over many pages. In fact Microsoft word has an option, in the word count dialog that pops up, to toggle whether footnotes and endnotes are included or not. However, Microsoft Word absolutely does not include the headers and footers - at least not in Word 2000.
