From my experience with Orion, setting a specific word length presents a few problems. What if the story is 3510 words or perhaps 3558 words and where do you draw the line.

I think sticking to number of pages in a specified format is much more appropriate and easier to manage in the long run. If I choose the word 'obfuscate' and others of that ilk and my page length is too long, I can always change that to 'lie' and do the same with other long words which would affect the length of the story but not the number count.
