I've found a minor bug in exiftool (v10.82) with regards to the word count field for DOCX files.

I've attached screenshots below. I created a new word docx, and wrote four words.
I then ran it through exiftool and it gave me an incorrect wordcount

Cheers

Thanks for the report, but ExifTool is just reporting the value stored in the metadata.  I don't know why Word is storing "3" here instead of "4".  I don't think this is an ExifTool problem.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Yep, you're right.
Probably should have looked at the app.xml file from the beginning.
Thanks!
