Can word count ignore my bracketed references?

I'm writing an essay for my University assignment and I need to provide a
word count. Can I set up word count to ignore the references that I have had
to include within the text?

Hi Sarah, if that is your name,
not without some programming.
If you really want it, ask again in ...public.word.vba.general.
And counting words can only be done approximately.

If the references are in a certain style, you can change its definition to
"Font > Hidden" temporarily.

Hidden text isn't included in the word count, as long as "Tools > Options >
Print > Hidden text" isn't checked.

This can be done with Hidden font.

A VBA tool derived from this technique is available here: ezcite.sourceforge.net
