Hi Senthil,
There is no mechanism that allows you to put RTF into a Word document
and have it magically transformed into formatted text. A converter is
required. Word's built-in converters execute when you open an RTF file,
use Insert/File, or when pasting RTF from the clipboard.
For the scenario you describe, your best bet could be to save the RTF
to a file, then use an IncludeText field to pick this up. The field can
then be unlinked to turn the content into document text.
Or go the Clipboard route.
