Have Microsoft Word document docx with a proper hyperlink
HYPERLINK "mailto:firstname.lastname@organization.org" firstname.lastname@organization.org
Open it with MS Word and in the menu File->Info see Words 52.
Now open document

Document document = new Document("path");

and run

document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get("Characters").getValue() -> 335
document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get("Words").getValue() -> 58
document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getBytes() -> 992720
document.getRange().getText().getBytes().length -> 391

do replace in the document of
firstname.lastname@organization.org with anonymous@great.com more words even more short words

The replacement happened. And the document was saved.

HYPERLINK "mailto:anonymous@great.com more words even more short words" anonymous@great.com more words even more short words

therefor, I expect all numbers to be changed accordingly

document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get("Characters").getValue() -> 335
document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get("Words").getValue() -> 58
document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getBytes() -> 992720
document.getRange().getText().getBytes().length -> 425

Open document in MS Word, menu File -> Info see Words 58.

Open the document with API and call stats again

document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get("Characters").getValue() -> 335
document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get("Words").getValue() -> 58
document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getBytes() -> 988506
document.getRange().getText().getBytes().length -> 425

Sample - Copy.docx (969.6 KB)
I noticed this issue 6 months ago, this is why started to use getText().length()

Please call Document.updateWordCount method as shown below to get the desired output. We have tested the scenario and have not found the shared issue. The MS Word and Aspose.Words return same numbers of characters and words. Please check the attached screenshot of MS Word 2019.

Document document = new Document(MyDir + "Sample - Copy.docx");
document.updateWordCount(true);

System.out.println(document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCharacters()); //324
System.out.println(document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getWords()); //56
System.out.println(document.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getBytes());
System.out.println(document.getRange().getText().getBytes().length);
