word count suddenly shrunk

my word count suddenly shrunk from 203 k to 188 k

i don’t think i made any changes that could of triggered this, and i skimmed through my files and i think it’s all there. is there anything that could of explained this.

See if you’ve unchecked “Include in Compile” for any documents in your draft folder, as that will impact the Project Statistics word count.

If that’s not it, you might want to unzip & rename one of your backup projects from prior to the word count decrease, and then compare the old and current projects side by side, to see if you can nail down where the difference is.
