Hello,
we already did of course specifiy the output file format to ".doc" in the SaveToFile method. We are using MS Word 2010. The previous versions of Word that do not have the protected view naturally do not show any error.
For trials we completely switched to the DOCX file format, which we cannot use in production as our client still uses Word 2003. But nevertheless, when we said FileFormat.Docx the created files could not be opened in Word 2010 at all! The only thing that is shown by Word is an error message saying that the content of the file is "making problems" detailing that the namespace "xmlns:xml" is reserved and can only be declared as "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace". I've attached the error message (unfortunately in German).
The output of the component in RTF is not usable at all (completely out of order in content and layout). The output as PDF is a bit better but still incomplete and with the wrong formatting. This overall behaviour of the component is a bit disappointing. It looks like the DOC format is the only usable file format of all except the problem with the protected view.
