I'd take the easy way out and use winPython's COM objects to open the
doc in word, and save it as .txt
and then -
f=file("doc.txt",'r')
j=f.read()
j=j.split(" ")
print len(j)

Once you're connected to a word document, you'll have to figure out
what the command to count the words in the document is, but that's
just a matter of recording a macro in word where you count the words,
then repeating it in python
Sure,
What you need are the win32 extensions for python
(http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html), which
contain win32com. Through com, you can access almost anything in
windows. Check out
