Surely in an advanced program like Publisher 2007 there is some facility for 
doing a word count on a document. Where is it ?

Copy the text; paste into Word. Do a word count.

I find this approach to the problem of doing a word count on a document in 
Publisher 2007 about as antiquated as the Ark. This is in addition to the 
problem with trying to justify text which was simple on Publisher 2003 but 
has disappeared on the current vesion . I have no criticism of Mary Sauer who 
is probably just trying to help, but if microsoft cannot do better than this 
with their new fangled programmes then they will probably find that they are 
no longer Number 1,

Publisher is not a word processing program. Proper tool for the job.
