Everything 1.5 Alpha • Blank Word Counts

ext:doc;docx add-column:a a-label:="Word Count" a:=WORDCOUNT($content:)

Hi void. I'm back here because last week I uncovered a set of what I thought were Word2003 documents with blank word counts. Where the files were apparently empty of text I had expected a word count of zero.
But then I found some of the documents contained what I think of as regular text.
I have attached " .. Episode 45 ..." as an example document.

First off the file is a mere 2 KB, which suggests that I have created the document from a web page by selecting the web page, Copy, then Paste into Notepad (to drop images and hyperlinks) and saving it as a file with an extension DOC. That is sufficient for my purposes when i am analyzing gobs of text from web pages.In this image the blank column "Word Count" caught my eye and a forum search brought me back to this thread.When I tried the function method I see the extra column (extreme RHS) but the word-count is still blank.

Even if this is a bug, it is not a big issue for me; I am still analyzing documents word by word.
But it might suggest an alternate way for Everything to express a truer word count?

I am so aware that I am pushing boundaries here; these files are not properly MSWord documents; they are text files (as in Notepad) masquerading as Word documents.
Thanks, Chris
