*How
the tool count, e.g., "1." or "•".
Additionally,
Word doesn't count text in text boxes, index entries, headers;
Déjà Vu does. Déjà Vu imports a Word text box twice.
Note:
Data was gathered from many and contradicting sources. We have
never checked them all.
There
are some third-party programs that can be used to count words: PractiCount,
WebBudget XT,
etc. —but there are always problems with the criteria used
to count them.
