## Document::UpdateWordCount() method


Updates word count properties of the document.

```cpp
void Aspose::Words::Document::UpdateWordCount()
```

## Remarks


[UpdateWordCount](./) recalculates and updates Characters, [Words](../../) and Paragraphs properties in the [BuiltInDocumentProperties](../get_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. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

builder->Writeln(System::String(u"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, ") + u"sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.");
builder->Write(System::String(u"Ut enim ad minim veniam, ") + u"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_EQ(0, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Characters());
ASSERT_EQ(0, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Words());
ASSERT_EQ(1, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Paragraphs());
ASSERT_EQ(1, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Lines());

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

ASSERT_EQ(196, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Characters());
ASSERT_EQ(36, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Words());
ASSERT_EQ(2, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Paragraphs());

// For the line count, we will need to call a specific overload of the updating method.
ASSERT_EQ(1, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Lines());

doc->UpdateWordCount(true);

ASSERT_EQ(4, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Lines());
```
