WinForms RichTextEditor allows you to define different editing restrictions and enforce them on different parts of the document.

Track Changes

Track all changes made in the document and separate them semantically, as well as visually, from the rest of the content.
Different Views and Printing

Mail Merge

Right to Left and IME support

Performance

Ensure quick loading even of larger documents. Further editing can be performed without a significant performance hit due to the built-in UI Virtualization.
Built-in API

RadRichTextEditor features API which enables users to append one RadDocument instance to another or to insert one RadDocument instance at specified position of another RadDocument. Utility class settings aids the handling of merging conflicts if such arise.
Find & Replace, History, Undo/Redo and Read Only Ranges
- Find & Replace: RadRichTextEditor provides an API and UI to search the document and replace certain strings within it
- History: RadDocument enables you to track the history of any actions taken against the loaded document
- Undo/Redo: The control offers built-in multilevel undo/redo
- Read Only Ranges: You can define certain ranges in a document to be non-editable
Fields and Document Variables

Fields are a convenient way to show non-static data (current date, page number, author field and so on) in the document, while document variables provide a mechanism to store information in the document.
Watermark

Watermarks are text or pictures that appear behind document text. They often add interest or identify the document status.
Code Block

Code blocks enable users to add source code fragments to their documents and use the existing functionality to format and style those fragments. This can be done programmatically or via the Code dialog.
Localization Support

Business globalization requires multi-lingual applications. RadSpellChecker supports full localization of its strings. See Localization and Right-to-Left Support for the full list of Telerik UI for WinForms controls supporting RTL and localization.
Section Columns

RadRichTextEditor supports continuous section breaks, which allow entering a section break and starting a new section on the same page. This is very useful for creating a formatting change, such as displaying different number of columns on a page.
