Hi Student,

You could use a wildcard Find/Replace to temporarily delete all the numbers etc. For example:
Find = <[0-9,.]{1,}>
Replace = nothing
will delete all numbers, including those with thousands & decimal separators (though not numbers in alpha-numeric strings). Take a word count, then Undo.
