Fetch RTF from Word

Question

I have a Word document and would like to export the content including the format as RTF (or html).

        Word.Application wordApp = new Word.Application();         


        

Answer 1

If you want to read the rtf code just try to use:

Word.Application wordApp = new Word.Application();
Word.Document currentDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open("file.docx");
currentDoc.SaveAs("file.rtf", Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatRTF);

And then open it like a normal text file:

string rtf = File.ReadAllText("file.rtf");

Using your method doesn't work because you're accessing Text property, so Word gives you only plain text.
