Does anyone know of a way to count the words in just one section of a document?

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Characters.Count

Low tech alternatives--you can also highlight and word count should only
count the selection. Hitting F8 five times will select the current section.

If you use Outline View, you can also select the heading for the section and
word count that.
