Need a word-count macro for excel
 

A friend needs to find the total of all the words in an excel document. Is
there a macro around somewhere that does this?

Thanks,

As an alternative, is it feasible to copy the Excel document, paste it
into Notepad (to clear formatting etc), the copy it again and paste it
into Word? That would give a word count, but a number such as "30" is
considered a word, just FYI.

Chip Pearson has one:

But it will depend on how you define word.

My friend often uses the macro in Word to get a word count in a Word
document. So he would define a word as one countable as 1 by Word.

Then he may be happy with that code.
