Hi Natalie,

From the given details, we suspect that your requirement is to apply formatting to the text in the RTF format document.

To achieve this, we suggest you to open the RTF document and get the required text by using the Find API. Then apply the format to the text.

Please refer to the UG documentation below to know how to open the RTF format document,

Please refer to the UG documentation below to know how to find text in a Word document and highlight it.

Hello,

My question is a little different. What I mean is if I have a string of text in RTF format, can it be parsed into a format that can be applied to a .docx document? 

For example, I have a RichTextbox in which the user can input text as well as formatting options like bold and italics and this information is returned to me in RTF. Then, I would like to take that information and apply it to text in my document created using the new WordDocument() command. 

Thanks.

Natalie,

From the given details, we understand that your requirement is to copy the format of the text from an RTF string and apply it to text in your DOCX format document.

To achieve this, we have prepared a sample application, which can be downloaded from the attachment below.

Note: Please find the input template document in the “Data” folder of the attached sample application.

In this sample, we have done the following things.
1. Convert RTF format string to MemoryStream.
2. Open the RTF document using this MemoryStream.
3. Find text and get character format of the text from RTF document.
4. Open the DOCX document, find text and get character format of the text from DOCX document.
5. Apply the character format of the text in the RTF document to the text in the DOCX Word document.
6. Save the DOCX Word document.
