There wasn't a "Word Count" there was a buried feature called "Statistics" in the "Properties" option of the file menu. This panel had, among other things, a total word count. The new Word Count will be able to do much more than just count *all* the words in the document - it can handle selections as well (that is counting all the highlighted words). It will also be listed as "Word Count" - something that normal users understand and recognize. In most programs (and I don't just mean MS Office, I mean virtually any application with a "File" menu) the word "Properties" has nothing to do with count words. It's where you set up options for the overall program. Not where you find information about the file you have open. If anyone thinks that this is a hypothetical situation based on the assumption that end users are idiots - please check the users list archives for "Word count" and see how many hundreds of times (literally) that question has been asked.

Ever look at Acrobat reader? File->Document Properties? It's in the right place-- has to do with the document/file currently opened.

PS. Acrobat Reader also has a Document menu, BTW, but the Document Properties is on File->
