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);

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);
