Hi All:
Sorry to ask so many questions - I need to count words, using the
Words.Count Method, in a variable declared as String.
Does anyone know how to do this? I'm being unsuccessful in getting this text
in a TextRange that Words.Counts wants.

See Shyam's answer to your earlier post (it's better to keep all of your
messages on a given topic in the same thread, by the way).

His suggestion is that you create a dummy text box and having done that:
(assuming a reference to the text box in oSh)

With oSh.TextFrame.TextRange
.Text = YourString
' do your word count stuff here
End With
oSh.Delete
