Most work done for University have a word limit which excludes the heading, captions, tables and other formatting s. On large documents such as a Thesis these extra words can add up to quite a significant amount.
Is there a way of only showing a word count for the Text Body only?
or
Is there a way of selecting all text with the Text Body paragraph style? So I could use word count on the current selection.
Thanks JohnSUN!!
So to get a word count for just the Text Body paragraph style.
Open Word Count.. Tools --> Word Count & move it to the side...
then... Find & Replace --> More Options --> Tick 'Search for Styles' --> Search For 'Text Body' --> Find All
Then the word count is displayed the word count window under 'Current selection'.

Do you mean Find&Replace - More Options - Search for Styles (on) - Search for (Text body) - Find All?
JohnSUN ( 2012-07-09 11:54:45 +0200 )editMost universities have a much simpler word count requirement. Only the body of the work is counted, exclusive of forepapers and endpapers. Using styles to count words would be a nightmare for any properly styled thesis as it can contain literature quotations, co-researcher content, etc.
