RichTextBox not displaying Word rtf file properly

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,

I have a browse button which allows users to select a Word document. I then load it into a RichTextBox control using the following code:

With New IO.StreamReader(Me.txtInputFile.Text.Trim)
    Me.RichTextBox1.Rtf = .ReadToEnd
    .Close()
    .Dispose()
End With

The problem is that the Word tables are not displayed correctly. It appears that column widths are calculated incorrectly so that header and data ends up being displayed to the right of the table rectangles.

How can I fix this? Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions!

I know it's no help (or comfort I imagine) but the same behaviour is displayed if you use the RichTextBoxes native LoadFile method:

RichTextBox1.LoadFile(Me.txtInputFile.Text.Trim, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)

Cheers
