Can anyone tell me how to use a "hard space" in Word - I know in
WordPerfect, if you used "Control + Spacebar", you could insert a hard
space. This would allow a group of words to be shown on the word count as
one instead of a few separate words. Can anyone advise how to do this in
Word?

Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar.

Word calls it a non-breaking space instead of a hard space, by the way, and
it might not affect word count, only line wrap.

Specifically
1. non-breaking spaces do not affect word count (I would count this as
a but in WordPerfect).

2. Word does not count words in footnotes (I would count this as a bug
in Word).
 
Word does include footnotes if you check the box for "Include footnotes and
endnotes" in the Tools | Word Count dialog.
