--- Comment #6 from T. Rob Brown <[email protected]> ---
This word count issue is perplexing.

Here's my scenario. I run OpenOffice 4.01 on both my laptop and my desktop. I
e-mail my .doc file back and forth between the two computers. The word count is
different every time and not by just some trivial amount.

Example 1: Total document count.

Laptop amount (I typed this into the document before sending): 35,101 words

Desktop amount (when I went to verify that number): 34,324 words

Somehow almost 1,000 words just disappeared in the count... but they are all
right there in the document.

Example 2: Selection word count.

Laptop amount (I measured this from just the most recent chapter of that same
document, which I'm still writing): 1,011 words

Desktop amount (when I went to verify that number): 983 words

So, what gives? If this thing can't give me accurate word counts, it's a
worthless feature. And frankly, this is one of my most-used features of the
program.
