Export FormattedTextEditor Text to Word

The WinFormattedTextWordWriter™ component enables export of formatted text from WinFormattedTextEditor™ or WinFormattedLinkLabel™ to a new Word document. The WinFormattedTextWordWriter uses the WordDocumentWriter object to export the data. To accomplish this, simply call one of the Export methods of the UltraFormattedTextWordWriter object. The Export method has several overloads which take a different set of arguments to work as per user needs.

The following code exports the formatted text of the UltraFormattedTextEditor control to Word document using the Export method that takes in the UltraFormattedTextEditor control and the WordDocumentWriter object as parameters. This code also names the Word document “FormattedTextInWord.docx" and places it in the “C:\ WordDocuments” folder.

To begin, drag and drop an UltraFormattedTextWordWriter component and an UltraFormattedTextEditor control onto the form and set the Value property of the UltraFormattedTextEditor control to some formatted text.

A reference to the Infragistics3.Documents.IO assembly is required for the following code.

In C#:

using Infragistics.Documents.Word;
// Create a new instance of the WordDocumentWriter class
// using the static 'Create' method.
// After writing content, this instance must be closed.
WordDocumentWriter wordWriter = WordDocumentWriter.Create("C:\\WordDocuments\\FormattedTextInWord.docx");
wordWriter.StartDocument();
// Export formatted text to Word
this.ultraFormattedTextWordWriter1.Export(this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1, wordWriter);
wordWriter.EndDocument();
// Close the writer
wordWriter.Close();

In Visual Basic:

Imports Infragistics.Documents.Word
' Create a new instance of the WordDocumentWriter class
' using the static 'Create' method.
' After writing content, this instance must be closed.
Dim wordWriter As WordDocumentWriter = WordDocumentWriter.Create("C:\WordDocuments\FormattedTextInWord.docx")
wordWriter.StartDocument()
' Export formatted text to Word
Me.ultraFormattedTextWordWriter1.Export(Me.ultraFormattedTextEditor1, wordWriter)
wordWriter.EndDocument()
' Close the writer
wordWriter.Close()

In the following code the Export method accepts the raw formatted string text and a file name as parameters.
