Is the word count figured by what Word says it is? So that if my Word says I'm good, I'm good? Of course, it's counting dashes and ellipses as words, so there really aren't as many words as it says.

Yes, we use Microsoft Word to verify the word counts.  So, if your count is ok in Word, you will be fine.  Good luck!
