i am using this code for open a word file-
<pre lang="cs">
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass wordObject = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass();
object File = txtfilepath.Text; //this is the path
object nullobject = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application wordobject = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
wordobject.DisplayAlerts = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document docs = wordObject.Documents.Open(ref File, ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject,
ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject,
ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject,
ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject);
docs.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory();
docs.ActiveWindow.Selection.Copy();

IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
rtbgermanfile.Text = data.GetData(DataFormats.Rtf).ToString();
string name = rtbgermanfile.Text.Trim();
name = String.Join(Environment.NewLine, name.Split(new char[] { '.' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries));
string newtext = name.Replace("\n\n", "\n");
string newtext2 = newtext.Replace("\n\n", "\n");
rtbgermanfile.Text = newtext2.ToString();
txtwriteingerman.Text = rtbgermanfile.Lines[0];
docs.Close(ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject);
wordobject.Quit(ref nullobject, ref nullobject, ref nullobject);
//wordobject.Quit(SaveChanges:false, OriginalFormat: false, RouteDocument: false);
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(wordobject);
txtwriteinenglish.Focus();
</pre>

If you save the word document to a RTF file, you can open it using LoadFile method.

However using a RichTextBox can be quite problematic. Consider using for example http://www.freetextbox.com/[^] and HTML format for the Word contents

In System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox, images are not well supported. Anyway, there is a way to insert them using the clipboard.

For example:

C#

Image img = Image.FromFile("myImage.jpg");
Clipboard.SetImage(img);
myRichTextBox.SelectionStart = 0; //for example; you need some position to insert it
myRichTextBox.SelectionLength = 0;
myRichTextBox.Paste();

However, you can face too many problems with that.

I would advice you to use some alternative. Instead of Rich Text Format, you could use HTML. I would recommend this wonderful component offered in this CodeProject article:
