I take console application as an example: Name space I used: using System; using Spire.Doc; code: Document doc = new Document(); doc.LoadFromFile( test.docx  FileFormat.Docx2010); Console.WriteLine( CharCount:  + doc.BuiltinDocumentProperties.CharCount); Console.WriteLine( CharCountWithSpace:  + doc.BuiltinDocumentProperties.CharCountWithSpace); Console.WriteLine( WordCount:  + doc.BuiltinDocumentProperties.WordCount); Console.ReadKey();

Karthi The solution I post is not using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. It's based on another word library Spire.Doc. You can get its free version from https://www.nuget.org/packages/FreeSpire.Doc/ and then reference its dll in your project.

Thanks alice.I already tried that But that's not work. i got error as  'System.__ComObject' does not contain a definition for 'WordCount'. is there any options. this is my code. that marked line returnthe value. but not correctly. only 5 words in my test file. that return 7 words. try { int pagecount = 0; doc = application.Documents.Open(ref Filename ref missing ref readOnlyref missing ref missing ref missing ref missing ref missingref missing ref missing ref missing ref isVisible ref missingref missing ref missing ref missing); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdStatistic stat = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdStatistic.wdStatisticPages; pagecount = doc.ComputeStatistics(stat ref missing); //The total number of pages to get the document int wordcount = doc.Words.Count; int cnt = doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.WordCount; return pagecount.ToString(); } catch(Exception l) { throw (l); }

Hi I think Spire.Doc can meet you need it supports both .doc .docx and .rtf format. https://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials/Spire.Doc/Spire.Doc-Program-Guide/Document-Operation/Count-the-number-of-words-in-a-document-in-C-VB.NET.html
