What? Code? What code? "download a word file using contents of that editor"... makes no sense at all.

Hello,

There is a very easy way to do that.

Just get the HTML created in this control and put it inside an HTML tag with the mime type set to "application/msword", then just save as a .Doc file. Don't use .Docx as it won't work.

It won't create a real Word document, but Word will understand it, load it and render it properly, and from a user point of view it makes no difference.

XML

<html type="application/msword">

<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<p>This text is <strong>bold</strong>, this <em>italic</em>, and this <span style="text-decoration: underline">underlined</span>.</p>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px"><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px"><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px"><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 40px"><p>This text is <span style="font-family: Arial">Arial</span>, this <span style="font-family: Garamond">Garamond</span>, and this <span style="font-family: Verdana">Verdana</span>.</p></div></div></div></div>
<ul>
<li>Bullet 1 </li>
<li>Bullet 2</li>
</ul>

</html>

when i download the word file it will download but if i write HI in bold fontes in editor, then in word file it will display as html code only as we write in html to make font bold...

Hi,

I've just tried the only demo of the editor and type the following html code in it : <strong>Hi</strong>

I then modify this text (not in the editor, in my code...) so that it looks like that:

<html type="application/msword">
<strong>Hi</strong>
</html>

Save that as Test.Doc, and open in word, it renders correctly, everything is fine in Word.

Could you describe your issue with more details please, maybe show some code?

Valery.

i have placed one more button in this application, named "save as word file". Now i have placed this code,

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=document.doc");
StringBuilder strHTMLContent = new StringBuilder();

HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/msword";

strHTMLContent.Append(Edit.text);//Edit.Text is the contents of the html editor

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTMLContent);
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();

this is giving me contents with html code.

i have tried this also..

Response.Clear();

Response.Buffer = true;

Response.ContentType = "application/msword";

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=MyDoc.doc");

StringBuilder myBuilder = new StringBuilder();

myBuilder.Append("< html type='application/msword'>");

myBuilder.Append(Edit.Text);

myBuilder.Append("< /html>");

Response.Write(myBuilder);
Response.End();
Response.Flush();

it is giving me output like this...
< html type='application/msword'>Hi < /html>

Hello,

< html type='application/msword'>Hi < /html> won't work.

<html type='application/msword'>Hi </html> does work.

There should be no spaces in your html tag.
