When you choose Word Count from the Tools menu in Word for Windows, the
Characters statistic may change from the correct number to an incorrect
number.
This error occurs with some documents after Word repaginates. Word displays
the correct Character count prior to repagination. This problem has been
noted in documents with the following characteristics:
- Carriage Return/Line Feeds at the end of each line (Word 2.x documents).
- Documents that contain hidden text.
- Documents that contain fields.
