How to take text from RichTextBox in VB6 to Word object?

Hi! There,

I have an application which has RichTextbox in it. Now, I need to produce
word document which has text with the same format as the RichTextBox.

Suppose, user has typed a letter with formatting like Bold, Underline, color
etc. Now, I would like to create a word document which should have the same
text and formatting.

When I take TextRTF to a string variable and write it into word document it
doesn't work. It shows all the formatting characters too.....

This can be done using Clipboard. But, I would like to avoid clipboard if
possible.

Any suggestion(s) or answer(s)

Thanks in advance,
Ritesh.

Doesn't the RichTextBox control have a method that allows you to save its
content to an rtf file?

If so, use that to create the Word document (Once you have the rtf file, you
can open it and save it as a doc file, then delete the rtf file.)
