How can I convert formatted text on a webpage and in the database to RTF or doc.

I have some formatted data that needs to be saved from the web page as a word document or rtf, something ubiquitous so I am thinking RTF. What is the easiest way to save something from .net as rtf? Are there built in tools for this or some plugins?

From stackoverflow

• A tool like this does the trick for manual one-off conversions.

  And if you want to do the same thing programmaticially

• Personally, I think the formatting should be left out of the database. I'd much prefer seeing the data stored in a format-agnostic way. It might be useful for other purposes, and you can defer formatting choices until the last moment.

  Chris Ballance : He did not mention a database and you didn't really address his question.

  duffymo : I inferred it from "save", but you're correct - it could just be written to a file system as a document.

  Chris Ballance : However, I like your point about not storing formatting if this is going into a database. If you don't know how the data might come back out, why mark it up before storing.

  Salt Packets : I mean save as a file or feed it as a download to browser. I agree it should be stored in db without formatting.
