It's accurate in Word 97 for whole documents, but sometimes it will
fail to return a proper count for selections of text.
However, as I said in my initial post. I have the word counts, I just
wanted to total them, but the problem's solved by the client doing it,
as he usually does. I'm doing a running tally as I finish each
document, so it doesn't seem like I'm adding 100 figures.
