TConversion Descendant - Translate Word file to Rich Text

Hi all
Is there anyone out there who has made / knows how to make a TConversion
descendant which could be used to import a Word file directly into a
RichEdit ? (ie I would prefer just to use the TRichEdit.lines.loadfromfile
or loadfromstream method, and not Word OLEAutomation, to convert the word
document to an RTF doc.)

Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

Regards

Mike M

In next versions the TMSWordDocument component
(http://www.scalabium.com/msword) will support such conversion. Now only
plain text is extracted.

PS: TMSWordDocument doesn't use MS Word. This is direct doc-file parsing.

Holy Schmoly! That component is awesome. I have a few word docs that I
have been able to get ANY text from even using Word automation. I've tried
probably two dozen apps, mostly Linux/C things (yuck!) and this is by far
the best converter. I'm signing up now.

Thanks for such kind words.
Anyway I sure that in future this component will allow to do more than even
now:-)

Re:TConversion Descendant - Translate Word file to Rich Text

Thanks very much Mike - your component looks really good.
Unfortunately I really need Rich text format (not plain text) - so I guess
I'll have to use OLE until you complete the next version of your component.

Hope you get it finished soon !
