I wrote a very long document, hundreds of pages including figures and let’s say 5 levels of headings. When I modify the largest heading (for that one i used a custom heading instead of heading 1, if it matters) the word count increases . why? lets say my document is 300,000 words. when i modify that heading the word count increases to lets say 300,002. and also the character increases, lets say from 1,800,000 to 1,800,004. Why?
and then i also modified font of some header and footer text and again the word count and character increased even more (again an extremely small fraction but still…), why might this be?
