There was a "statistics" feature, but it was buried fairly deep in the 
menus and it only gave the word count for the entire document - I used 
to copy-paste stuff into an empty page to check word count for sections 
of large files.  Normally I'm not concerned with word-count either, but 
some stuff I write is to order and they want a certain wordage, and then 
the feature becomes vital.

Thanks for bringing the opening speed to my (& everyone's) attention, I 
hadn't noticed that, as I was focusing on other aspects of the program.
