When you paste bulleted paragraphs from the new version of Microsoft Word into the standard richedit control, you can see that although the pasted bullets look like bullets they no longer work like bullets. Many other RTF readers (including the standard rich edit control) understand only the old format of bullets and numbering. Some changes during RTF evolution were more radical: for example, since MS Word 97, the representation of bullets and numbering in RTF has changed completely. There are third-party wrappers for the newer version of the richedit DLL available, but they are still limited: images only in basic formats, very primitive and buggy tables, no advanced formatting.įor obvious reasons, Microsoft's richedit will never be even nearly as powerful as Microsoft Word. The standard Delphi TRichEdit component (based on the richedit DLL) supports a relatively small subset of RTF keywords: no images, no hyperlinks, no tables, no advanced formatting.
Other applications support subsets of RTF keywords. Each new version of Microsoft Word adds new keywords to RTF. RTF evolves together with Microsoft Word. RTF can store complex formatting information, It's a widely recognized format supported by many applications, including WordPad and Microsoft Word. RTF (Rich Text Format) is a file format that allows exchanging formatted text and graphics between different word processors and different operating systems.
