Technical Tip
Convert documents to different formats
One of the important features of Aspose.Words for .NET is extensive support of DOC, RTF, WordprocessingML and HTML import & export. You can convert documents between any of these formats using just two lines of code. DOC, RTF and WordprocessingML are Microsoft Word document formats. Aspose.Words supports these formats to a very high degree and therefore conversions between these formats in any direction are very precise. No document content or formatting is lost during such conversions. Aspose.Words can be used in a server or client application, single threaded or multi-threaded.
