Dear Rich
Accepting, or showing, changes makes no difference to my word counts; nor does working in 'Final' or 'Show Markup' mode. But I have discovered what's going on. The discrepancy arises from something very simple: when I used the 'Word Count' dialogue box with
the individual documents, the 'Include textboxes, footnotes and endnotes' option wasn't ticked; with the amalgamated document it
*was* ticked. (I hadn't ticked or unticked the boxes, and didn't notice the option until I started investigating.) The word count in the tool bar depends on the last setting of the 'Word Count' dialogue box, but gives
no hint that this is the case nor indeed any option to change the basis of the word count.
But thank you for your suggestion!
