Word Count by Section

Writing essays for university work and need to be able to track the current word count in the main body of the essay.  Happy to use Section Breaks for this.  OK to use Quick Parts.

 

Would like to be able to INSERT at the top of the section (In a coloured Text Box if possible, that can easily be deleted later) something like NumWordsSec as a FIELD.  Would like it to count words in current section in 2 ways: real time - for editing and cutting down post writing and on command as writing main essay as it could be distracting in real time.   However, will take either if that's too complex.

 

Would be very useful and my entire course group would be grateful.  I suspect all students would appreciate.  Thank you.
