hello.
i am still not familiar with impress, but did you try using tools menu
word count?
for me in writer, it says character and word count, also the amount of pages.

also for me who use nvda screen reader can use preview in web browser,
select all the document and nvda says the number of characters for me.
God bless you!

Are you paid by the number of Japanese characters, or the number of
words in the target language? If the latter, what is the definition of a
word, according to the contract?

(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.)

Is that the definition of word, according to your contract?
(If it is, you are leaving a lot of money on the table.)

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.

This why, when accepting contracts that pay by the word, the word "word"
is defined, and the method of counting words is specified.
