feature that may be useful - auto word count

While typing if i want to add a word count I can highlight the text i
want counted and use tools - statistics, then put the result in a margin
note manually.

what would be useful is to be able to define a block of text, say
paragraph, hold the page count in a variable, then inside a margin note
(or similar) have it auto update the word count.

perhaps have a total word count appear in the status bar too for the
whole document.  some way of monitoring things in real time.

Just thought it would be handy,  not sure how it would work i can insert
new page,  so perhaps have insert block start / end,

perhaps then at the end of the document, have a way of inserting word
count which is then a sum of all the variables, added to gethre, so
block1+block2= total word count

any ideas

Paul
