Well, I do not want to be rude, but words (= their number) ***ARE***  
fundamental to the (my) final product.
As I said, I am given PPT files (I hate to work with those!!!) to  
TRANSLATE the content.
The _*number of words*_ (or the number of original (Japanese)  
characters) defines how much money I get.
I do not care about the "looks" of the file (or academic definitions of  
"word").

(from the Libreoffice Help page:
How does LibreOffice count words?
In general, every string of characters between two spaces is a word.  
Dashes, tabs, line breaks, and paragraph breaks are word limits, too.)

All I need to know is the number of words - counted in a way that is  
reproducible, since the translation agency will have its own opinion  
about that.
Thank you
Thomas
