This shall not get one :-) I looked in OOo 3.0 dev build OOO300_m3. I can not reproduce the "edit problem". What you describe sounds like the entire document is read-only (maybe opened in MS Office and OOo from the same machine ). If you see "another" issue, please do not discuss that in here. Back to word count... The difference of 12 (63 - 51) words comes from the page footer. OOO Writer counts it and Word does not. Changing summary accordingly. Try this: Within the bugdoc, delete all but one word from the text body. Then select the text in the footer. MS Word (2007 and 2003 alike) tells: 12 word in selction, 1 word in document. Smells buggy but... SBA->FME: Since word count references to (yet :-) market leading products are more important than being bug-free ourselves, it looks like we must copy this behavior of ignoring page footers in word count. Personal Note: Lets see how long we can survive this "following blindly" without introducing UI for "meaningful personal settings concerning word count" :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
