This would be difficult to do, because there is no way for a macro to determine which pages might be cover pages and reference pages. The best you could do is to get a word count based on a pre-selected range.

If you only want the word count for a selected range, change ‘ActiveDocument’ to ‘Selection’. Do note that, if you do this, the word counts for footnotes & end notes will relate to those anchored in the selected range, regardless of where they’re physically located. Header & Footer counts are based on one count per Section in the selected range (provided that Section is not linked to a previous one).
