Sermon Editor - Word Count

Since the latest update the word count leaves out the number of words on the auto-filled Scripture.

If I replace with auto-filled Scripture the word count is correct again. However, when I close that particular sermon and re-open it the word count reverts as if the Scripture is not there.

I work to a specific number of words including Scripture to give me an idea of how long the sermon is going to be - for me 2500 words in total - but I am not getting the right count! Please sort. Thank you.

    Oh, and on the word count - it says how many minutes - wouldn't be great to adjust word count to number of minutes according to how we individually preach - for me 100 words per minute is minimum - I'm guessing it is set at 120 words per minute.

    During beta testing we were advised that the duration estimate  had, indeed, been set to 120 words per minute

    Hi Ian,

    I'll take a look at this and let the team know.

    Blessings,

    This should be fixed in 7.5 SR-1.
