Word Count in Footnotes and Endnotes

If you are writing an article and need to include these items in the word count change the default setting:

Open document
Go to Review tab / Proofing Group
Click Word Count button

The Word Count dialog box displays

Select Include textboxes, footnotes and endnotes check box
Close
