Nope. Not supported. RichTextBox does not contain a complete implementation of RTF. Also, Word offers features that you don't find in the RTF specification. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007, 2008

I'm not shure if I am able of writting down my own parser. Also I tryied out the library you suggested, but could not use it. I imported the dll file and still din't manage it. I'm new in programming and have not enough experience. Could you please help me out here??
