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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

And if you want to do the same thing programmaticially

Answer 2

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.
