+
+What I do in such a situation is to use the wordcount function of my textprocessor,
+and then count all \ separately, as they start TeX commands. Subtracting the latter from the former gives a rough guestimate of the No of words in the text. For most intents and purposes this should be good enough.

+
+The normal Greek characters in TeX are in italic, as they are intended mainly for
+maths. If you want to typeset Greek text you need a special font. This is available
+in the font directory at CTAN.

+Subject: vertical placement oddity
+
+Hi,
+
+I've uncovered some odd behavior that I can't seem to get rid of or find
+in documentation or FAQs... When I use \flushbottom on my document,
+line spacing expands to fill up pages, but the subsection headings do
+not move along with the rest of the text. Therefore, the section
+headings end up overwriting text in the previous section, and a large
+gap is then left between the sections. (These extreme behavior is only
+on a few pages with bad page breaks, but looking closely at other pages
+I can see that headings are misplaced vertically)
+
+Any idea what could cause such behavior? I'm writing a thesis with a
+custom package, but the package uses the standard \@startsection to
+define the section headings, with appropriate rubber lengths, and I
+can't find any other modifications that would affect section headings.
+All the other packages I'm using are standard-distribution packages
+that, to my knowledge, shouldn't have anything to do with section
+headings. (amsmath,latexsym,graphicx,psfrag,rotating,overcite) I can't
+seem to figure out
+
+Thank you for any help you can provide,
+
+Jeff Gray
