Return Total Words in a File

[shimul49]

I need to show the total words in the Word file I am working on. How do I do that using PHPWord?

Hi,
In the bottom section of any Word file, we can see the total words in that file. In a recent project, I face a word counting issue while trying to use Arabic and PHPWord, as the default PHP word counting functions also fail for Arabic, I am wonder if there is any function/procedure that already exists in PHPWord that returns the total number of words in a file I am reading using PHPWord.

Although I have no idea how important this function is to request this as an upcoming feature.
