Title: exiftool .docx word count bug
Post by: randomaccess on March 07, 2018, 02:34:23 AM

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.

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