How do you print the word count in a document

[Guest]

I know how to display the word count of a Word document on the screen, but
how can I print the word count in the document so that when someone looks at
the printout, they can see how many words have been typed? I use Word 2000
and Word 2003.

Go to Insert > Field. Select either "All" or "Document Information" in the
Categories list, and select NumWords in the Field Names list. Click OK.

This is a good start. I'd like the field to update as I add and delete words.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance! Quan

Not possible, You can insert a field - { DOCPROPERTY Words } but it will
not automatically update. You would have to force an update e.g. by
selecting the field and pressing F9 or with a macro.
