When a story is labeled as having 3387 words, its first chapter has (MS Word says) 3858 words, and the remaining chapters do not have negative numbers of words, something is wrong.

I've noticed huge disrepancies between the MS word count and the FF document word count. I'm wondering if maybe they omit words like THE, AND, IS, IT.

I don't know, but when Word says the first chapter is longer than ff.n says the whole story is, and the second chapter looks just as long as the first, and there's twenty more chapters after it...
