I am trying to set up a form in FrontPage, with a number of text areas that
are word count sensitive. Is this possible? And if so, how!
 
You will need to locate a JavaScript Word Counting Script, which means you will not be able to use
FP's Form Field Validation at the same time, without additional manual coding.

In your IE address bar type:

? JavaScript Word Counting Script

Click on the text area then select Form Field Properties, then Validation
and set your min/max character count there.

Rob, I think the OP want to limit the number of words entered, not the number of characters.

It is the word count I am trying to limit - thanks!

If I can't figure out a script as you suggested, then I could maybe make a
character count work.
 
The character count is the easiest method!

That hit me after I cliced "Send" ... character count seems simpler though.
