Hi, I have a basic understanding of how to use the tool for extracting metadata information in a word file. What I'm struggling with is finding out how to extract three other pieces of metadata I need. the "Total editing time", "Word count" and "paragraph count" are what I need and I don't see an option to extract those. is there a way of getting these?

If ExifTool can extract it, you will see it in the output of this command:

exiftool FILE

...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 ($).

exiftool (path-to-file) -words -paragraphs -totaledittime

Does the trick for me with sample .docx and .doc files.
