Your girlfrien document has any Header or footer?
Try open document with only texts, select all text. Check Tools>word count number of words will be same.
If open documents with headers and footers, select all text. word count -- will be difference between selected text and summ of all words.

Have you read the
Forum Survival Guide?
What version of OOo are you using?

Put another way, Select All does not actually select headers, footers, footnotes or frames.

Download, this file:

I counted words: selected section: 10806, whole document: 10976
If you find in your OOo different numbers, install new OOo your 2.0.4 pretty old. May it has some bugs on word count.
I tried on 2.3.0 and OOHm6(2.4 development) and get similar results.
