I'm still not getting consistently accurate word counts using cluster
in Concord. For the word "statistics," the top three word cluster is
"department of statistics." Cluster counts 19 but a concordance
search counts 57. "the department of" is 12 in cluster and 133 in a
set of concordance lines.

I've reloaded WS 5 to the latest version. I've made a new concordance
file for "statistics." I've shut the whole thing down and re-started
the computer and WS5.

What can I be doing wrong? I'll send the .cnc file to you in hopes
that you can see something that I'm doing wrong.

Have you tried a complete re-installation, Pat? The link is

It is quite quick and should get rid of any kind of corruption which
has crept in somehow; you can copy your data back in afterwards so you
needn't lose anything.
