A field question

Hi everybody!
Does anyone know, is it possible to use the NUMWORDS field to count words
that are only formatted in plain text, automatic color, and left aligned? I
know that I can select them with the find function and then do the word
count, but it would be nice if there was a way to just put in those formats
once and then automatically update the field.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Word doesn't offer this kind of precision. It's possible,
however, that someone could devise a macro to automatically select and count
the words and insert the result in the text at a specified point.
