I eventually solved the problem mechanically. Because the end result
is beyond my control, the front end has to be very simple. I
developed a template document saved in an older version of Word that I
know is PC and Mac compatible with a text box full of lorem ipsum and
some warnings and red as to why the (200) word count should not be
exceeded.
