Microsoft Word counts hyphenated words as one word, other word counters count hyphenated words as if they were separate. This actually seems to be the standard and Word is the one that's gone it's own way. Bloody Microsoft!
You never notice this until switching between apps with different word counters and getting caught.
Due to the differing standards, you may have to give lee-way if it's a couple of words out either way. However, anything beyond that is pretty much taking the piss.
