Rich Text Format (RTF)

Rich Text Fomat (RTF) is a file format developed by Microsoft that allows end-users to save text files, keeping their formatting, font information, text color in tact. It is supported by virtually all word processing applications and is thus one of the best suited formats when it comes to exchanging data between different applications.

TX Text Control Server for ASP.NET (incl. Windows Forms) can load and save RTF.

In addition, when text that is formated as RTF is copied into the clipboard, its formatting is retained. On pasting the clipboard back into a word processing document, the text is imported as RTF.
