Load MS Word document

[draganss]

VS.NET 2002
How can I load MS Word document (*.doc) into rich text box?

Thank you.

You can't. The rich text box only understands .rtf files, and then, only a small subset of the .rtf format.

You can open Word docs in a RTB but you lose some things and can't really edit it. I have the code around here someplace...

So if there is no easy way, I'll look for some workarounds.
Thanx to both of you.

I don't remember it being especially easy. You lose headers and footers I'm sure, but I can't remember what else, and it looks like I lost the code. We were working on a printing issue and it looked like a possible solution, but we wound up getting a print driver to do the trick we were looking for.

From memory I think copying the formatted text to & then from the clipboard into a RichTextBox might work, otherwise can you control the Word doc to save it as RTF format then copy?
