Of course! Thanks for that, Grant. I'll definitely do it that way next time.
Now, a related question. Normally I'd post this to the HATT list but since Adobe also makes Robo, I thought it might be okay to post the question to this list. What is the best way to do a wordcount of an HTML help system? I used the single source method and converted my help system to a Word doc, but it took a while and I don't know how accurate the conversion is.

But one word of caution. If you are counting the words in a book for localization purposes, be sure to substract the number of words in the TOC and index. These files are not counted because they are generated from words and phrases (titles, for example) that are would already be translated when the vendor generates the TOC and index for the translated book.
