It's to keep up with your writing progress ... your word count on a project. A lot of authors use it on their websites so fans can see how close a project is to being completed. I don't know where this originated from, but I would assume it was from competitions such as NaNoWriMo.

I do not get this at all. What's it for? My first thought, exactly. But now Joxie's explained it I can see it's benefits. It is amazing how different word processors come up with different totals on their word-counts. I know when I did NaNoWriMo the other year (was it really that long ago?), they insisted on using their own programme fot the total word-count. So I suppose having a standardised system is of benefit, trouble is, how many 'standard programmes' are there? |

Ah, I see. I agree with Moonglum (hi Moonglum!); it'd be so much easier if that word-count feature on Word Documents was actually a standard tool to count words!

Yeah. I wish Word's word count counter was spot on.
