Word Count Tool

Well, according to Word's word count, I'm behind by like 200-300 words, but I found this Word Count Tool online and when I used that, it added about 1500 words to my word count. O.O I just wanted to ask if anyone else has found this/used it and knows if it's relatively accurate compared to the official verification on the official website. Because you know... if I really *am* up 1500 words... *happy dance*

Because of this post, I actually tried using the Word Count Tool for my novel. I'm writing in LibreOffice and found that Word Count Tool showed that I was almost 9k words LESS than LibreOffice shows. Trying it at NaNo had the word count the same as LibreOffice.

In short, I would definitely make sure to validate.

*sighs*wow that really makes a difference. I guess validating every so often really *is* the best solution.

Thanks for the advice!
