Word Count

[ddantry]

In Word 2000, can the word count be inserted into a document?

 

[Greg Maxey]

You can adapt and use this macro to insert the word count at the insertion
point:

Sub WordCount()
Dim NumWords
NumWords = ActiveDocument.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords)
MsgBox ("The document contains " & NumWords & " words")
Selection.TypeText Text:="There are " & NumWords & " words in this
document."
End Sub

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Yes. Insert a NumWords field where you want the word count to appear. Insert
the field using Insert | Field or by pressing Ctrl+F9 and typing NUMWORDS
between the braces.
