Preserving Rich Text With GetText or ToText

I have C# method that reads a Word document, performs some manipulation on the content, then should return a string that will be loaded into a Rich Text editor on a web page (we are using CK Editor). My problem is that any rich text formatting, i.e. bold, underline, etc., is not preserved.
Is there a method which will etract the content of a document into a string and preserve all of the rich text tags?

Hi

Thanks for your request. Maybe in your case, you should convert your document to HTML. Please see the following code:

public string ConvertDocumentToHtml(Document doc)
{
    string html = string.Empty;
    // Save docuemnt to MemoryStream in Hml format
    using(MemoryStream htmlStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        doc.Save(htmlStream, SaveFormat.Html);
        // Get Html string
        html = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(htmlStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int) htmlStream.Length);
    }
    // There could be BOM at the beggining of the string.
    // We should remove it from the string.
    while (html[0] != '<')
        html = html.Substring(1);
    return html;
}

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more assistance, I will be glad to help you.
Best regards.
