Hi there

I know some of you need to calculate word count without captions + tables.

Just thought I'd share: If you using MS Word, I've found the best way is using different styles (ie. have a table style and a caption style). Then you select an extract of your 'normal' text style and click 'Select all data with similar formatting [under Select, below the Find and Replace toolbar buttons]

The only catch is you probably have to repeat the process for your heading styles too!

Any other tips?

Nice tip! I've found that it's really useful to learn your keystrokes (i.e ctrl + X for cut). Seems like sort of a dull thing to say, I know, but it really does save time.
