Please tell me where it says that in the dictionary - I could find nothing
about it.
I also searched the User Guide for "quoted strings" and also "smart quotes"
and found nothing.
I also searched both the dictionary and the User Guide for truewords and
found nothing.
So I'm very mystified where this stuff is to be found and how it is to be
found.
I'm just trying to understand how this information is found so I don't need
to keep bothering everyone on this list.
Thanks,
Larry

Subject: Re: problem with counting words
The dictionary clearly says that quoted strings are counted as a single
word. If you wanted to work around that as an issue by using the
itemDelimiter, you would then look at the number of items in the field, not
the number of words.
There’s a better option though, you can see how many truewords there are in
the field, because that uses Unicode delimiters.
If you don’t want to use truewords instead of words for some other reason,
you could solve the issue by using smart quotes instead of dumb quotes.
