If you can save your document as a text file, run
wc -w < filename
from the terminal shell prompt and it will give you a word count.

These days, I write my work in Markdown format and then use Pandoc to convert
it to HTML, PDF via LaTeX, MS-Word, ODF or whatever I want. If I want finer
control over the presentation, I can write it in LaTeX. For OS X, you can
install MacTeX, which is freely available from the TeX Users' Group.

Both Pandoc and LaTeX can automate the generation of citations and
bibliographies.
