walker206 - Just use the actual word count.

There are too many websites listing formulas, specifying fonts, font sizes, etc. I went through the same thing and the results vary too much.

Use the word count as given by the word processor and then round it up or down to the nearest thousand.

e.g.
You have 126,344, call it 127,000
You have 189,012, call it 189,000

Hope that helps.
