Many journals have strict word count limits, and some of them even have guidelines for manuscript sections. For example, ''jneurosci'' allows an introduction of only 1000 words. To track this, an awkward solution is to copy/paste sections of the paper into a new document to get Microsoft Word to report the word count for the pasted text. Kludgy. A more elegant solution is to make use of MS Word's ''section break'' feature to break up the paper into sections, and then using the macro code below to report the word count of each section:

Sub SectionWordCount()

' SectionWordCount Macro

Dim NumSec As Integer
Dim S As Integer
Dim Summary As String

NumSec = ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
Summary = "Word Count" & vbCrLf
For S = 1 To NumSec
Summary = Summary & "Section " & S & ": " _
& ActiveDocument.Sections(S).Range.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords) _
& vbCrLf
Next
Summary = Summary & "Document: " & _
ActiveDocument.Range.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords)
MsgBox Summary
