If you need the count including the footnotes, switch to Normal view and click View > Footnotes to display the footnote pane. Select all the footnotes and use Tools > Word Count, which will show the count only for the selected footnotes. Then you can add that to the count for the main text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
