The word count does omit footnotes, and endnotes and text boxes and
headers/footers, and anything else not in the main body of the
document.
If you need the count including the footnotes, switch to Normal view
and click View > Footnotes to display the footnote pane. Select all
the footnotes and use Tools > Word Count, which will show the count
only for the selected footnotes. Then you can add that to the count
for the main text.
