FYI, not all word counters count alike, which is really counterintuitive. That said, at least based on my experience, those using Microsoft Office 2007 who are struggling to stretch their story those final few hundred words may want to run their story through the official word counter on The Site. In my case, I had 50,760 words according to Office 2007; when I ran it though the official counter, I was "gifted" 110 words.

It may not be a lot, but for those who are desperately close but barely able to squeeze a few more words into their story to hit the 50k mark, it may be worth running the story through the word counter anyhow - it might result in a pleasant surprise :-)
