fme->troodon:
[...] If the RTF filter reads the statiscs from the document, I assume OOo
should give
the same word count as Word for unchanged documents, but OOo gives a different
word count. So, if a word count is not performed, why OOo gives another nubmer?
[...]
This is surprising to me. I made a simple test: I created a new document using
Word 2007 and entered the following text:
"This is a Word document containing a certain number of words."
Word showed me a word count of 11 which is definitely correct. I stored this
file as test.rtf and opened the file in Writer. I had a break point set in the
word count functions. And: Just as I stated above, the word count is not
performed when loading the document. But: The word count dialog shows me 8
words. So I had a look at the rtf file and found {\nofwords8}. There it is.
Looks like Word does not correctly save the number of words.
[...] Also, what does "quite some time" mean for you? In both Word and
WordPerfect the
first word count usually takes just some seconds even for large documents
(+20000 words). And they perform it even for unchanged documents. [...]
Word count can be very time consuming for mixed language documents. This is
because Writer tries to apply the correct word count definition and algorithm
for the different languages, e.g., a blank in Thai text does not denote a word
separator but the end of a sentence. Therefore we have to check the the current
language for each word. That's the time consuming part. A couple of months ago I
did some performance tests and, if I remember correctly, word count could take
up to 30 seconds for a document with a couple of hundred pages.
Anyway, from my point of view we can change the current behavior and start a
word count if the user requests it, even if the document already contained a
word count and has not been modified.
