Suggestion for Word Count

Suggestion for Word Count

I'd like to make a suggestion for the word-count feature on Zoho Writer. I already like yours much better than Google Docs, simply because you tell me any time I save my document what the word count is up to. But I'd like something else also.

As a professional writer, I almost ALWAYS have a certain number of words that my current client wants. Sometimes this means adding more words, sometimes it means taking some out. I find myself repeatedly needing to know how many words are in a certain section. Most desktop word processors have the capability of telling you the number of words in a particular highlighted section. That's my main sticking point with all online word processors: I can't just highlight part of the document and get a word count for that chunk. It would be a great help to me if I could.
