Export Data From RichTextBox to MS Word in C#

In this article, I’ll show you How to Export data into Word Document using C# Windows Form.

And you will find all of the code and output in bottom of article.

Form Design:

1x RichTextBox
1x Button

Step 1: Add a reference by right clicking to the “References” in the Solution Explorer.

Step 2: Then we will see the Reference Manager in the panel. We have to add the Microsoft Word XX.XX Object Library into our project as a reference for exporting to the Microsoft Word.

Step 3: After the adding is finished, let’s start the project. Add the namespace to using


using exporttoword = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

using exporttoword = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

Step 4: Double click to button1 and add following codes.(Button1_Click event).


private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            exporttoword.Application wordapp = new exporttoword.Application();
            wordapp.Visible = true;
            exporttoword.Document worddoc;
            object wordobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
            worddoc = wordapp.Documents.Add(ref wordobj);
            wordapp.Selection.TypeText(richTextBox1.Text);
            wordapp = null;
        }

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

exporttoword.Application wordapp = new exporttoword.Application();

wordapp.Visible = true;

exporttoword.Document worddoc;

object wordobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

worddoc = wordapp.Documents.Add(ref wordobj);

wordapp.Selection.TypeText(richTextBox1.Text);

wordapp = null;

}

Output:
