    Resolved [RESOLVED] Richtextbox RTF needs to be converted by Word to enable Equations?

    I tried saving the default RTF of a Richtextbox but when I try to open it with Word 2007 it has to be converted so I could use Equations, is there in any way I could save an rtf but will not be opened by Word in Compatibility mode?

    TIA

    The RTF format support certain features but by no means all the features supported by Word. If you want use a feature in Word not supported by RTF then Word will have to convert the data. It's just like opening a CSV in Excel and then applying formatting or whatever. That's not supported in a CSV file so you have to save as XLS or the like to keep such features.

    In my case, I think what is happening is that the rtf file saved from a WPF RichTextbox is in 'lower' version so opening it in Word 2007 opens it in Compatibility Mode. Not sure if there is anything I could do to save an RTF in a higher version that will be opened normally by word.

    Okay, here's a plan I came up with, save a blank RTF file from Word and Load it in my RichTextbox control so that if I try to open it in Word again the compatibility issue should not be there anymore. Will try it later. =)

    I deviated from my plan above since it did not work, what I did was to open an rtf file in Word but that rtf file was earlier saved in word and not loaded in my richtextbox. That did the trick and I can live with it. =)
