Public Function WordCount(Text as String) as Long
'Declare an Array
Dim splitText() as String
splitText = Split(Text, " ") 
'Split it using a space charachter for where to split it.
WordCount = Ubound(splitText) + 1 
'Set the function return to the end of the array. Ex: See Spot Run! would make splitText(0) = See, splitText(1) = spot, and splitText(2) = Run! - 2 is the highest so 1 is added to it to make the word count
