Words in Scene and Chapter Lists

[Clifford Farris]

Is there a way to include scene words in the scene list? Chapter list? I am testing my novel for overall balance and plot development. Such lists would be helpful. Thank you.

Do you mean the word count?  The scene word count is shown in the scene list and the chapter word count is shown in the chapter list.

Simon,, 

I will check. I didn't see them in my two lists. I mean by each scene and each chapter. I am massaging the entire book as a unit to achieve balance.

Ah, I thought you meant displayed on the screen.

Let me look into the various reports when I get a chance, as I can't remember if any of them show word count but I think one or two do.
