Word 4.00: Print Repaginate Gives Incorrect Word Count

= SUMMARY =

When using Print Repaginate with the “confirm page breaks:” field set to Yes, Word Version 4.00 incorrectly calculates the total word count if a page break is moved.

When “confirm page breaks:” is set to Yes, Word stops at each page break and asks for a confirmation. Word then continues counting the words from the page break, even if the page break has been moved. Therefore, if any page break is moved, the word count is higher than the actual number because some words are counted twice.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word Version 4.00. To obtain an accurate word count, execute Print Repaginate with “confirm page breaks:” set to No.

The word count feature with the Print Repaginate command has been removed in Word Version 5.00.
