WORD: formatting text -> who knows the format characters

This is the stuff I have:
- plain text (with 'tags' e.g. "this is <b>bold</b>."
- a connection to word (via "dim objWord as word.application")


I can paste the text into a word document, but my question is the following:

can I convert the text string, via inserting formatting characters, so that word will display the text correctly ('bold' in bold)

PS: I know that i can 'toggle' bold on and off, but I want to send just one string, together with the formatting (kind of RTF).

Who knows these formatting characters??

When making bold in RichTextBox, you could use this code, I think it's the same, so just send this to Word

Code:

---

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deftab720{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss MS Sans Serif;}{\f1\froman\fcharset2 Symbol;}}
{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;}
\deflang1043\pard\plain\f0\fs17 Hi!
\par }

---

Remove the Hi! with something you want to be displayed bold.

I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure at all if it will work
