Hi All,
I'm not sure where I am going wrong with this, I am trying to write a field formula which will display the word count for a document minus a particular number (to display the word count for an assignment not including the cover sheet)
judging from the microsoft support site i should just be able to put in the formula box:
{={NUMWORDS}-1204}
and that should display the word count less 1204.

Am I missing something glaringly obvious or is this something that word can't do?

Cheers in advance
