Tiger,
What Steve said, you can find it by clicking on Office-button, prepare,
properties, top left of your screen click on the listarrow next to
properties, choose advanced, you will see the old dialog click statistics
tab, you will see the wordcount there. Not exactly easy to find, but there
you are.
As the others said BUT I just have to wonder why anyone wants you to make a
PowerPoint presentation with 1200 words!
