Export RTF not showing right in wordpad and fast report

Hello everyone.

We use the richview components. Now we have the following problem. When we make a table in the RichView component, and we export to RTF. Then the table does not display correctly. This problem we have when we open the file in WordPad and Fast Report.

What else can we try? Someone with experience?

Thanks for the reply!

Probably because the standard RichEdit (used in WordPad and FastReport) has only very basic support of tables.

Sergey,

Thanks for the reply!

Is there an option to give the RTFExport what only the functions which used Wordpad / Fast Report can handle. So the basic functions?

Normally, if an editor does not understand RTF tags, it just ignores them.
If richedit does not understand, for example, vertically merged table cells, or width of columns in %, it just ignores keywords for these options.

And different versions of richedit support different sets of RTF tags.
