You could try using the Micrsoft tools for office, but I don't know if they will convert a word doc to RTF ( of course, if htey do, a lot of formatting will be lost ). there are commercial Word editor components you can buy.

You are right, but by saying "A" you could say "B": strictly speaking, one cannot. "Loading" with loss of information is not "loading", and loading into Word component is not loading into RichTextBox. So, formally, the answer is purely negative. (I voted "4".)

Well, that is true. I often try to move past what is asked, to answer what is intended. He clearly wants to edit a word doc, I doubt he NEEDS it to be in a rich text box.
