    NOV rich text view lets you easily load and save document as Microsoft Word Documents in the DOCX file format.

     Loading Word Documents

    To load a Word Document from a file or from a stream you can use the Load methods of the rich text view as shown in the Loading Documents topic. For example:

    Loading a Word Document from a local file
    Copy Code
    richTextView.LoadFromLocalFile(@"C:\MyDocument.docx");
    
     Saving Word Documents

    To save a document as a Word Document to a file or to a stream you can use the Save method of the rich text view as shown in the Saving Documents topic. For example:

    Saving a Word Document to a local file
    Copy Code
    richTextView.SaveToLocalFile(@"C:\MyDocument.docx");
    

    Word Documents in the DOCX format are essentially a package that consists of XML and image files and is compressed to a ZIP archive. By default, NOV rich text view uses a medium compression level when creating a Word DOCX package. The medium compression level is a nice compromise between speed and compression ratio. If you want to change the compression level of a DOCX package, you should pass an NDocxSaveSettings instance with the proper value set to its CompressionLevel to the Save method.

    Saving a Word Document with a different compression level
    Copy Code
    NDocxSaveSettings saveSettings = new NDocxSaveSettings();
    saveSettings.CompressionLevel = ENCompressionLevel.BestCompression;
    m_RichTextView.SaveToLocalFile(@"C:\MyDocument.docx", NTextFormat.Docx, saveSettings);
