How can we show .rtf or .doc as flowdocument in WPF?

flowdocument, wpf

Solution

Something on these lines will do the job for you where documentPath is your rtf file path:

FileStream fileStream = File.Open(documentPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);

FlowDocument flowDocument = new FlowDocument();

TextRange textRange = new TextRange(flowDocument.ContentStart, flowDocument.ContentEnd);

textRange.Load(fileStream , DataFormats.Rtf);

Do add the error checking code though.

Problem

It is for the help section of the application. I am thinking to put flowdocumentReader to show the help document. But is it possible to show .rtf or any .doc to show in Flowdocument.Or is it neccesary to create a flow document in Xaml. Please help. Thanks,
