Replacing MS Word

[Ian]

I have a document generator which currently generates Word documents, and I’d like to replace it with the RichTextEditor control.

Has anyone tried anything like this? I’ve already replaced Excel with the RadSpreadsheet, and that was OK, albeit with a few restrictions, but the performance improvement made it worthwhile. But the Word generator is way more complicated, and uses all kinds of Word features, so just wondering if there are any gotchas.

Thanks

Hi, Ian,

I am glad to hear that you are satisfied with the RadSpreadsheet control that the Telerik UI for WinForms suite offers.

RadRichTextEditor is a suitable control for creating and editing Word documents as it provides rich UI capabilities similar to MS Word. You can get familiar with all the supported features in the online documentation: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/richtexteditor/getting-started/getting-started 

I hope that it would fit the scenario you wish to cover. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
