Topic: Can I open Word Documents with the new RichText Control?

Hi MVD,

A question I have about this, could I open documents that were created using Microsoft Word with a rich text control in my application created with MVD?  Is this possible?  Do we have to manipulate a script to do this?  Please help.  Thanks!

Hello.


You can open documents in .rtf format, so first you should save a Microsoft Word document as .rtf file. After that you can open it using icon on toolbar, or using script:

 Form1.RichEdit1.Clear;
 Form1.RichEdit1.LoadRTF('d:\filename.rtf');
