Type everything except the number itself. For that, type NUMWORDS, then
select that word and press Ctrl+F9 to convert it to a field and F9 to
update.

There's a Word Count button on the Review tab, but it's much more
satisfactory to right-click on the status bar and add Word Count as one of
the buttons there. It will automatically display the word count of the
entire document or a selection, and you can click on it to get the character
count and other statistics.

I have one machine that refuses to show Word Count in the status bar. I go to
Review and click the 123 button, and it will show Page 2 of 2, but not the
word count. Then, next time I start Word I have to do that again. How do I
get it to show the Word Count on the status bar, and how do I get it to stay
there so next time I start Word it comes up again?
Thanks!

Word2007? Right-click on the status bar and turn on Word Count. (And
whichever of the other availabilities would be convenient for you.)
