[Solved] uploading and saving doc files with RadEditor

[Andreas Ladis]

Hello,

I want to implement the following scenario:

I have a doc file on the server and i want to upload it inside the editor. When the user-client opens the web page with the radeditor control from his local pc, he must be able to see the document that is saved on the filesystem of the server. Is that possible?

Also after the doc file is uploaded inside the editor, the client(user( wil make some changes inside the doc file) and then he will have to save the doc file back to the server. Is that possible with RadEditor?

Regards,
Eleni

Hi Eleni,

RadEditor is a standard HTML/XHTML editor and it does not offer the requested MS Word doc import and export functionality out-of-the box, because the browser does not support this type of formatting itself.

In order to implement your scenario you should use some third party tool to convert the Word content to HTML markup and load it in RadEditor via its Content server-side property. After that convert the produced in the editor content using this tool to doc format and save it.

You can search in Google for HTML2DOC and DOC2HTML converters.
