MS Word-Like Authoring

Provide Microsoft Word-like authoring and editing in your applications using a familiar interface for your end users.
MS Word Like Selection

This new RichTextBox feature allows your users to select bigger chunks of text with less effort. The selection works similarly to MS Word and the SelectionChanged event will be fired less frequently.
Feature-rich Content controls

The Content Controls for the RichTextBox for WPF enable users to add specific semantics, like restricting input, modifying editing behavior, etc., to parts of a given document. The content controls can be defined on Block, Inline, Row or Cell level and can be nested inside one another.
Support for @mentions

The RichTextBox supports another MS Word-inspired functionality: @mentions. Users can leverage this feature to tag key stakeholders in comments and in messages so no new information slips through the cracks and workflows are more streamlined. Once the “@” character is typed, a drop-down list of username suggestions appears. By continuing to type, the control will filter out the available username options.

Support for Non-Breaking Spaces

The Telerik UI for WPF RichTextBox now supports non-breaking spaces, making more MS Word-like functionality accessible to your users. This handy feature improves readability by allowing specific adjacent words to appear on the same line.

Non-breaking spaces is a standard Word feature that doesn’t allow the UI to break the line at a hyphen or space. In this way, spans separated with non-breaking spaces are always kept on the same line and transferred together on the next line if needed. It’s useful for content like numbers with signs so they can stick together, enhancing the reading experience.

This feature is also used in HTML to define more consecutive spaces. If regular spaces are used, then they are collapsed and only one space is shown in the UI. With non-breaking spaces, each space is rendered.
