18-1517
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Chief Judge Jane E. Magnus-Stinson.
Civil.

Finds the “Properties” panel in Microsoft Word is not designed to count all words in a document. Also finds citations are not justifiably excluded from the word count simply because Rule 32(f) does not mention them. Finally, finds Vermillion misunderstood both Rule 32(f) and the right place to start counting in Microsoft Word.
