When I wrote my recently completed MS, I composed each chapter as a separate Word file (.doc format). I did word counts on each file individually and kept a running total in a spreadsheet. Total was just under 154,000.
I then combined all the separate files into one, converted the one big file into a .rtf file (so I could load it onto a Kindle) and the word count increased on this one to over 157,000.
I used the same version of MS-Word to do the counting.
Any ideas? Is it even worth worrying about?
