UpdateWordCount

UpdateWordCount()

Updates word count properties of the document.

public void UpdateWordCount()

Remarks

UpdateWordCount recalculates and updates Characters, Words and Paragraphs properties in the BuiltInDocumentProperties collection of the Document.

Note that UpdateWordCount does not update number of lines and pages properties. Use the UpdateWordCount overload and pass true value as a parameter to do that.

When you use an evaluation version, the evaluation watermark will also be included in the word count.

Examples

Shows how to update all list labels in a document.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.Writeln("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, " +
                "sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.");
builder.Write("Ut enim ad minim veniam, " +
                "quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.");

// Aspose.Words does not track document metrics like these in real time.
Assert.AreEqual(0, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Characters);
Assert.AreEqual(0, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Words);
Assert.AreEqual(1, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Paragraphs);
Assert.AreEqual(1, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Lines);

// To get accurate values for three of these properties, we will need to update them manually.
doc.UpdateWordCount();

Assert.AreEqual(196, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Characters);
Assert.AreEqual(36, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Words);
Assert.AreEqual(2, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Paragraphs);

// For the line count, we will need to call a specific overload of the updating method.
Assert.AreEqual(1, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Lines);

doc.UpdateWordCount(true);

Assert.AreEqual(4, doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Lines);
