Get the RTF contents of a microsoft word document

[swreng]

Dear all,

I would like to make a code which reads a word document and display the rtf contents in a richtextbox.

I wrote the following but i can't find how will i get the rtf data of the Document.

Is it possible or not?
The method:
Word.Document.Content.Text returns a plain text
Is there anything else about that?

Many thanks

object fileName = @"c:\test1.doc";
object readOnly = false;
object isVisible = true;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object savechanges=false;
object originalformat=System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

Word.ApplicationClass oWordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();

Word.Document oWordDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Open(ref fileName, ref missing,ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref isVisible, ref missing,ref missing,ref missing, ref missing);


// The below Command is a plain Text even the document has tables
oWordDoc.Content.Text;

You could try saving the document to a temporary file as RTF, by setting the FileFormat parameter of <Document>.SaveAs to wdFormatRTF and then reading that file into your RichTextBox.


Hope this helps.

Hi earthandfire,

I did it and it seems to working good but if the document is big it needs long time to read it. So i believed that there is a direct command do that and be more quickly, but even that it is a solution in my problem


Thanks a lot!
