Answer 1

You can save RichEditBox content as RTF file.

XAML

<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
    <StackPanel Margin="200">
        <RichEditBox x:Name="REB" Height="300" Width="400" />
        <Button Content="Save as RTF" Click="btnSaveAsRtf_Click"  HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,20,0,0"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

C#

private async void btnSaveAsRtf_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var RtfFile = await ApplicationData.Current.TemporaryFolder.CreateFileAsync("RtfFile.rtf", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
    using (var stream = await RtfFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
    {
        REB.Document.SaveToStream(TextGetOptions.FormatRtf, stream);
    }
}

Hi, Gopikris

As far as I know, the Office word namespace cannot be used in Windows Store App. Syncfusion sells some controls for windows 8 the control kit includes DocIO which allows you to read and write word files.

You can refer to this link below:

Best Wishes!
