A client of mine is a translator. He works in Word 6.0, and uses the word
count to determine his billing. His client uses WordPerfect 5.1. Their
word counts _do not agree_. Can anyone outline the word count methods used
by each program? Does the language of the dictionary used (Spanish, in
this case) make a diference?

Thanks in advance, I will summarize all responses
