If you select some text and run Tools | Word Count, Word will automatically
only count the selection. That should be a suitable workaround that gets you
what you need.
If you want a fix, more details are required:
What version of Word?
Where is the word count showing up? Are you running Tools | Word Count or
what? I don't think I've ever seen Word give me words per page, so you can
you be more detailed about how you get that in the other documents? At
present I have no idea what you are referring to.
Also, re the copying to a new document--as a corruption fix, it's not just
copying, but a partial copy. You have to *exclude* the last paragraph mark,
when you copy.
That last paragraph mark holds a lot of information which can get corrupted,
and copying the text into a document with a fresh one keeps your formatting,
but can fix some glitches.
A paragraph mark is a gray ¶. Click on ¶ on the standard toolbar to show
nonprinting characters, including paragraph marks.
Hope that helps,
