On 2 Equal Docs, "Word Count" Doesn't Match

Hi,

Something's wrong with my "Word Count'. I have two word documents that
should have the same number of words. But Word Count says I have 16429
words on one, and 17272 on the other. That's an 843 word difference. On
the other hand, Word Count says that both have the same number of lines:
1706 lines.

I have matched page to page with both documents on the screen and they match
perfectly. Word Count says that each have 56 pages, and the last paragraphs
on page 56 of each document match across from each other at the same place.
There are the same six paragraphs on page 56 of each document.

What to do? What's wrong?

Thanks, Rafael

I don't have the foggiest idea, but you have posted this question to the
Excel group. I think you ought to try Word. However, keep looking here as
some word experts might answer.

Bob,

Yes. I mistakenly put it on Excell group. It's a Word question. Thanks.
