Openoffice won't display whole document word count in document over 73,763 characters

[David Dawson <beagleseven7777@yahoo.ca>]

I'm not sure if this is a bug in OOo, or what, but it suddenly stopped
displaying the word count in my document, when I went on typing and checked
it. I found that by selecting all text, I could get a count, but not unless
I did so; it would otherwise display 0 words 0 characters for the total.

If this is a bug I'd appreciate help filing a report. I checked the
issuezilla site and a search did not turn up this problem.

I think it might be safer to cut the document in pieces. Any advice?

Thanks
