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.

I am glad to announce that TUGboat 20(4) was shipped to the
printer yesterday afternoon. We hope that shipment will begin
sometime after the 15th of July, but as yet have no firm
schedule.
We apologize for the long delay in getting this issue to you!

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
