## UpdateWordCount() {#updatewordcount}

Updates word count properties of the document.

```csharp
public void UpdateWordCount()
```

## Remarks

`UpdateWordCount` recalculates and updates Characters, Words and Paragraphs properties in the [`BuiltInDocumentProperties`](../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.

```csharp
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.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Characters, Is.EqualTo(0));
Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Words, Is.EqualTo(0));
Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Paragraphs, Is.EqualTo(1));
Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Lines, Is.EqualTo(1));

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

Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Characters, Is.EqualTo(196));
Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Words, Is.EqualTo(36));
Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Paragraphs, Is.EqualTo(2));

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

doc.UpdateWordCount(true);

Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Lines, Is.EqualTo(4));
```
