Hi there,
Thanks for your inquiry.
There is still no direct way to insert RTF into a document. You can however easily achieve this by loading your RTF string into a new document and inserting that into your exisiting document. Please see the code implementation below. It also uses the InsertDocument method found in this article here.

// Load the base document.
Document doc = new Document("Document.doc");
// Define the RTF string snippet to insert into the document
string rtfString = @"{\pard Test {\b content}.\par";
// Insert the string at the first paragraph in the document.
InsertRTFIntoDocument(doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph, rtfString);
// Save the output.
doc.Save("Document out.doc");

///
/// Inserts RTF formatted string into the document at the specified node.
///
/// The node where to insert the content
/// The string containg the RTF formatted content.
public static void InsertRTFIntoDocument(Node insertAfterNode, string rtfString)
{
    // Check for the format identifier at the begining of the string. If this does not exist
    // add it as it is needed for the content to be loaded into a new document.
    const string magicNumber = "{\\rtf1";
    if (!rtfString.StartsWith(magicNumber))
        rtfString = string.Concat(magicNumber, rtfString);
    // Convert the string into an array of bytes and pass it into a new memory stream.
    UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(encoding.GetBytes(rtfString));
    // Check this content stream to see if it is recognized as valid RTF content.
    FileFormatInfo info = FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat(stream);
    if (info.LoadFormat != LoadFormat.Rtf)
        throw new ArgumentException("The RTF string passed is invalid.");
    // Load RTF stream into a new document.
    Document rtfDoc = new Document(stream);
    // Insert the loaded content into the document.
    InsertDocument(insertAfterNode, rtfDoc);
}

If you have any further queries, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
