Simpler than me manually deleting all tags and expand macros etc and then use
BBEdit to do the world count

Or manually counting the words :)

Definitely

Yes

Correct, this for papers that are have a max size in words not including
pictures/tables etc (silly, wouldn't defining font/size and number of pages be
better).

Thank to all for the suggestions.
