Okay, I'm 99% sure I got this right (I'm rubbish when it comes to Excel). What you do, is you copy column C (i.e. word counts) from your WFA analysis file into [url= [url removed] ]this[/url] Excel file. You have to put your usual per-word rate in cell G11 (yellow). In this screenshot, I used "0.16" (i.e. 16c per word) as the example. The "weighted word" count should appear in cell H11, and the final amount should appear in cell I11.
You can get the final amount by adding up all the weighted amounts (i.e. all the numbers in column I), or you can get the final amount by multiplying the weighted word count with your usual per-word rate.
You're going to have to break it to your client that WFA doesn't have "perfect match" capability (perhaps when your client hears this, they'll want to change how much they pay for 100% matches).
