Ok I am going to start writing an essay for my course, I will be using microsoft office 2007 just not sure about something. The first page is the draft so I don't need to count the words in the draft, however the writing AFTER the draft will need to be wordcounted. How do I eliminate the words from the draft so they are not included? The pages need to be numbered so the words in the draft get counted too. Hope I am making sense.

The draft and the acatual essay will be sent as one document.

Why not just delete the draft, run Word Count and then undo?
Can't you just select everything else and run word count then as well?

Highlight the work you want to word count, at the bottom left it will say something like 2560/2700

The first number is you words highlighted, the second number is the total words for the document.

That sounds like a good idea ...delete the draft and run word count and undo it afterwards. haven;t started writing essay on MO yet its all on paper yet, but today or tomorrow will start then see how it goes. May come here again if not sure again. I haven't used MO before and haven't got time really to play aournd with the sttings either as need to send of essay soon. Oh well on wards and upwards.

All valid points, just one more option:

You could sart off with the draft and final essay as seperate .doc's, and then when you're done import the draft into the final essay.

That would add a bit of extra failsafe as well, by keeping them seperate you've just got that extra assurance
