How to extract RTF / HTML text from a Word document ?

Question

Context : I embedded Word into a Winforms using the DSOFramer sample published by Microsoft. Now, I can write text with all formatting options of a Word document.

Question : I can extract the basic text from the doc, using doc.Content.Text (doc is a reference to my Word document), but i can't figure out how I can get the text with formatting, either as RTF or as HTML. I hopped Word docs had something similar to the Rtf attribute in the RichTextBox, but it doesn't seem so. So how am I supposed to get the formatted text ?

You can use the clipboard:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = 
    axFramerControl1.ActiveDocument as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document;
doc.Content.Select();
doc.Content.Copy();
this.richTextBox1.Paste();
