Mulyadi's suggestion did not work for me on a ppt 97-2003 document. However, right-clicking on the icon of the closed document opens a "Properties" window and I have a wordcount in the Details tab.

Best regards, Susanna

Until recently, I used to use the Trados analysis for my PowerPoint word counts, but I now suspect these counts are equally inaccurate.
From now on, I think I'll use PractiCount even though it takes a little longer - simply in terms of workflow.
Can anyone confirm, however, that the Trados analyses are indeed inaccurate or do they tend to be ok??
