>From Brian Barker on the OOo mailing list:

o  Go to Edit | Find & Replace... (or Ctrl+F).
o  Click More Options.
o  Tick "Search for Styles".
o  Select your required style in the "Search for" box.  (Don't worry
about what appears in the "Replace with" box.)
o  Click Find All.  Everything in that style is now selected.  (You
can close the Find & Replace dialogue at this point - or not, as you
wish.)
o  Go to Tools | Word Count.  One part of this display is for the
current selection.
