I need to strore RTF text at run time into a variable like this:
RichEdit1->PasteFromClipboard();
AnsiString sBuffer=RichEdit1->Lines->Text;
But the result is that, sBuffer contains ANSI text not RTF text. Why could I
do ?

If you're going to be using TRichEdit's to any extent, this
site is good place to look over:

A simple solution would be to let the TRichEdit save its contents in
a .rtf file. Then load the file in a TStringList and assign its Text
to the AnsiString.
RichEdit1->PasteFromClipboard();
AnsiString FileName = "content.rtf";
RichEdit1->Lines->SaveToFile ( FileName );
// create a TStingList
StringList->LoadFromFile ( FileName );
AnsiString asBuffer = StringList->Text;
// delete the StringList
ShowMessage ( asBuffer );
A nicer solution would be to stream the contents of the
TRichEdit out.

the original RTF, set the RichEdit's PlainText property to false and then
use its SaveToStream() method, such as to a TStringStream. You can then
extract an AnsiString from that.
