Is this a cryptic comment or a question?

Where you intending this as a reply to some arcane post that doesn't appear
to be referenced anywhere in your posting?
If not, then I would say that you have asked a rather cryptic question. ;-)

right column. OK to insert it. I think you will need to right-click and
"update field" every so often to update it, or select and hit F9, it won't
increase automatically. I am not sure whether you can put it in a footnote,
and wouldn't advise you to anyhow.
MacWord does have a Live Word Count on the status bar that automatically
adjusts, but I think the Win versions don't? Someone will correct me if I
am wrong. Maybe WinWord has a Word Count Toolbar that does the same?
However, there is little unhealthier than constantly staring at the word
count, and I would not be surprised if over-concentration on the word count
resulted in a worse paper than otherwise. It would also slow Word down a bit
to be constantly calculating the numbers.

{numwords} field and from time to time update that field - the code at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm attached to a toolbar button
would make that easier.
