The number of bytes in your document is a pretty close approximation to how many characters are in your document. The string 12345678910 is eleven bytes, but when you hit return a new line character is created so your document would then have twelve bytes. Accented characters, such as é count as two bytes. This probably all goes out the window when one gets to Japanese and any other non-Roman language.

I see the command in the Text Bundle 'Statistics for Document (word count)' but this doesn't report the char count...

thanks!
