We have a project which requires the loading of *.doc and *.xls files into an editor and then saving the changes to a file. We have looked at FCKeditor and CuteEditor which do some of what we need but will not load *.doc files directly without cutting and pasting. When we load a *.doc file into RadEditor.Content it loads as a text file and shows all the *.doc symbols. How can we load a *.doc file into the RadEditor where it retains the look and feel of the Word document.

Hi Steve,
RadEditor is more or less a front-end to the web browser’s rich text editing engine (which naturally uses HTML). Therefore it is not possible to have anything different than HTML (XHTML) in the editor content area. If you want to load doc content in the editor then you should firstly convert it to valid HTML/XHTML content and after that you will be able to load it in the editor via the RadEditor's Content property.
Our suggestion is to search in Google for some third party DOC to HTML converters that will convert the doc format to HTML.
