MS Word should add an image-count function, either as a tool similar to Tools
> Language > word count, or as an automatically generated statistic in
document properties. I believe this is available in Sun's Open Office, and
was quite surprised I couldn't unearth it somewhere in Word's Tools >
Options. I often receive drafts to edit that contain 100 or more unlabeled
graphics (i.e. can't generate table of figures) and want to know what I've
got on my plate w/o counting them manually. VB scripts are great for techies,
but please - how hard could it be to build an executable add-in?

Works like a charm! That is FAR simpler than any script I could find
elsewhere. Thank you, Doug.
