![]() Hi Joan, A 'live' word count of the entire document is reported at the bottom left of the document window. Here 125% is the magnification at which the screen image of a page is being presented, 1 is the number of 'words' that is selected, 4,007 is the total word count for the document, 6-9 are the pages (partially) visible on the screen. Sep 5, 2018 - Sometimes, we want to do word counting in OneNote, just like Office Word. Gem Menu for Mac OneNote now offers a Word Count feature for. Hi all, Very weird word count issue on my new Macbook Air. OS X 10.8.4, Mac Office 14.1.0. Equivalent of alt+enter in excel for mac. I love the word count at the bottom of the page, and especially the feature that it tells you how many words you're up to, out of how many in total, so if you have notes after the main body of your work you don't have to keep highlighting the relevant section. However, my document keeps telling me different things. The bottom-of-screen word count it is currently saying '6,548 words' but when I actually click on the word count the in-window count tells me 7,045. I pasted the whole lot into a new document, which then showed 7,045 as the bottom-of-screen count, so that's obviously the correct one. This morning, first thing the document displayed over 7,000, but has now dropped, which is what made me realise it was wrong. Now though, nothing seems to be able to make the original document catch up, and when I add or delete words it counts upwards or downwards from 6,548. I've tried unselecting and reselecting footnotes, but it just went down to 6,065 (which incidentally appears to be the correct footnoteless number, as the in-window count agrees with that) and then back up to the arbitrary 6,548. Evidently my document can't 'see' 500-odd words, but I'm at my wits' end trying to figure out why! Obviously I can use a fresh document which has a consistent word count, but if there's a solution I'd like to know what it is so I know I can trust the count. No tracked changes being used.

I didn't see that. She may be writing to a template that has a maximum number of words. I encounter that all the time in writing grant proposals and in submissions for MOOCs.

Thanks everyone - it's a really bizarre bug and I can't find anyone else with it on t'internet so I shall do as you suggest and file a bug report with MS. ![]() Another strange thing is that if I click into a footnote and make even the smallest edit, such as backspace-space, when I return to the main body of the document, the word count is temporarily correct. Then it reverts pretty much instantly. > My advise is to let go of word count numbers and just friken write. > Track the difference between start of work and end of work.
