They are the same document - I've highlighted the text which needs to be counted, which is a large percentage of the entire document, but not the whole thing. So the whole document is 357 pages - the highlighted section is 289.



In theory, as I understand it, both the dialogue box and the first word count at the bottom of the doc itself (the 'x' in x of y words) should show the number of highlighted words. Why are they so different? Any response appreciated!



Thank you.
