Word 2010 automatic word count

Every ~5 minutes Microsoft Word 2010 does an automatic word count of my document. I am working on a procedure with review comments which is over 160 pages and over 45,000 words. So every time this word count calculates it takes about 30 seconds and prevents any work from being done in the document. This is extremely frustrating. 
Auto save is set at 10 minutes. 
I have removed the word count from the status bar. 
I have searched high and low for a solution and have not found one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Jerry

I think the problem is actually background repagination. If so, the remarkable Commander Maxey has already posted an answer for this problem. Try this link:
