Description foobard 2008-05-05 20:45:44 UTC
Having a look at this test document 
http://www.bose.res.in/Admission/Bose%20PG.doc

as mentioned in bug 80815, for this file there is a large delta in terms of word
count between MS Word and OpenOffice. This particular file is full of form
fields in tables, which probably accounts for the large difference in word count.

Odd spot: trying to get word count for this file in Word 2003 was not possible
-- the word count feature was greyed out, and could not be selected. Weird.

of OOo and MS-WordViewer.
