How do I find out how many words are in a report I wrote?
Thank you

Go to the Statistics tab of the Properties dialog (File>Properties in
versions before 2007; Office
Button>Prepare>Properties>DocumentProperties>Advanced Properties in 2007)

Or run a macro containing the following code:

MsgBox ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyWords)
