Post title: Slight difference with word count in Word
I just analysed a Word file in MemoQ and noticed the word count was lower in MQ than in MS Word; but after a short calculation I realized the difference was a minor one. The word count is about 3 % lower in MQ, and the character count is only 0.6 % lower. I don't use the character count anyway, but this 3 % gap is potentially a significant loss at the end of the year. Not worth buying Trados just for analysis purpose, still it would be worth addressing the issue!
