    I have a RichTextBox bound via a DocxDataProvider. 

    I'm able to get the wordcount via the StatisticsInfo object.

    Wondered if I have the RichTextBox content in a byte array, can I convert this to a readable string ?

    Unable to figure out the encoding.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Paul,

    If I understand you correctly you would like to count the words yourself. In order to get the document as a string, you could use the TxtFormatProvider. Here is example of how this could be done:
    TxtFormatProvider txt = new TxtFormatProvider();
    string documentAsText = txt.Export(this.radRichTextBox.Document);

    I can recommend you the Import\Export help article where all of the available format providers are described.
