That would figure.  I have become a big ribbon fan, something I never expected. 
 Like the old menu system, it provides a good overview, which can be helpful 
when you need a command you don’t use much.  Coincidentally, I ran into Word 
Count just a few days ago, shortly before it came up on the list.  Every now 
and then, when writing book reviews on assignment, for example, it’s a handy 
thing to have.

 . . . invokes the same Word Count Dialog that I made reference to with 
ALT+R,W.   As per usual, there are about 100 ways to do the same thing in 
Windows and Windows programs.

I'm curious where and when you learned this shortcut?   There are tons of these 
that exist that range from not well documented to completely undocumented.  
This one pops up on a number of web pages, and a really good one from Microsoft 
involving keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Windows programs is entitled, 
Keyboard Shortcuts for Microsoft Office 
Word<https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Keyboard-shortcuts-for-Microsoft-Office-Word-628621ea-c0b7-4f01-bc3e-50640c0b46dc>.
  It covers some keyboard shortcuts applicable outside of MS-Word as well.

P.S. to Ted:  That keystroke sequence I gave invokes precisely the option under 
the Review ribbon to which you've made reference.  It's just the "direct line" 
there.
