Hi Cearbhall,You don't say which screen-reader you used. The information as presented and pasted is not totally accurate.
Now, using JAWS16, here is the Word Count Statistics dialogue from the message body (excluding headers) of Mairead's original email:
Word Count Statistics: Pages 1 Words 78 Characters (no spaces) 301 Characters (with spaces) 381 Paragraphs 1 Lines 10 Include textboxes, footnotes and endnotes Close(That last line is a checkbox which is read by JAWS in that box, by default.)
There was only one page. If there'd been more, that number would have been included.

I just carried out that command in Word 2010 having pasted the content of your message into Word and here is the result

I am using office 2010 with Jaws and I am unable to find out how many words are in the document. I found word count in the review tab but when I went in to it I just got options such as footnote and close but nothing that gave me a word count.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
