DO NOT REPLY [Bug 118676] New: Double Quotes counted as words
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118676
Bug #: 118676
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Double Quotes counted as words
Classification: Application
Product: Word processor
Version: version58
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: editing
AssignedTo: writerneedsconfirm@openoffice.org
ReportedBy: rivah@silverymists.net
CC: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
The Word Count feature counts quotes around dialogue within writing as words.
I believe the count happens only on Closing Double Quotes. This generates an
inaccurate word count, which can be VERY significant in dialogue-heavy writing,
and is problematic. Double Quotes should not be counted as words.

I can see the issue but the position of the quotes is important (menu "Tools -
Word Count"):
"hello" --> 1 word
"hello " --> 2 words
" hello" --> 2 words
" hello " --> 3 words

How about with a punctuation mark between the word and the closing quote?
"Hello." -> 2 words. It should be 1.
