  Question
  I would like to know weather the wordcount counts each seperate word
(including words such as a, i, am, and, so, he, the and so on) or weather it
discounts such words and only 'proper' word attribute to the wordcount (such
as: hello, wordcount, attribute, microsoft and so on). If somebody knows the
awnser could you please let me know. Thankyou for your time.

  It counts all of them - copy your list to a Word document and count them!

Possible? Yes.
Easy? No.

It would require that *you* *program* something in VBA.

If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

Only ask questions with yes/no answers if you want "yes" or "no" as the
answer.

  Hi,

You can search using wildcards.
In the "Find" dialog box make sure "use wildcards" is ticked.
Enter the search string:
<[A-z][A-z][A-z][A-z]
Then click on "Find in entire document"
And Word will report how many words with 4 letters and above there are in
the document.

Hope this helps,
David
