Why not simply use Stata to count the number of words used in the
graphs and then add that to the Word total.
For example:
sysuse auto,clear
local title "This is the title"
local caption "This is the caption"
scatter mpg weight , title(`title') caption(`caption')
local mywordcount wordcount("`title'") + wordcount("`caption'")
disp `mywordcount'
