This gets into what constitutes a word. Definitions here are crucial.
In your example, you gave both 62 and 70 as options.
* If the 70 is based upon a printer's word, then there are 84 words, as
counted by typists;
* If the 70 is based upon a typist's word, then there are 58 words, as
counted by printers;
* If the 70 is based upon one of the other definitions of a word, then
there are at least two more equally legitimate values that _accurately_
state the number of words in the text;

Getting back to Thomas' issue. How does the contract in question define
"word"?  Once that is known, then an explanation of how to accurately
determine the number of words in the Impress file can be provided.

I understand how mismatch in word count can happen by different definition on what word is, but how _same software_ can show different word count for HTML file and different for text file base only on file format (basically both plain text). HTML doesn't do anything what would change definition of a word thus mismatch in word count shouldn't be happening.

Writer shouldn't show different word count for odt file and different for docx file. Same for plain text and HTML.

Feel free to correct me as I want to understand this better.

Thanks,
Kruno
