Seconded. This tiny, easily fixable thing makes Open Office utterly useless to anyone doing a humanities degree.

Regarding Asian (double-byte) "word" and character count, I just attached a
sample text to Issue 17964 comparing Word's count with OOo's count.  I used 2.0
Beta 1, and was most disappointed to find that the only changes from 1.1 were
the location (now in Tools -> Word Count) and the minor (but quite welcome)
addition that we can now count selections.  However, *none* of the remaining
word count issues have been addressed in any way visible to the user.  Asian
text is still counted incorrectly (borking any count of mixed Asian - Latin text
as well), and footnotes and endnotes are still not includable (or is that
excludable?).  I have not looked into more complex issues such as text boxes and
the like.

Please have a look.  This issue is indeed ANCIENT and in dire need of some action.
