Content Import/Export in EJ2 TypeScript Rich Text Editor control
16 May 202524 minutes to read
Importing content from Microsoft Word
The Rich Text Editor provides functionality to import content directly from Microsoft Word documents, preserving the original formatting and structure. This feature ensures a smooth transition of content from Word to the editor, maintaining elements such as headings, lists, tables, and text styles.
To integrate an ImportWord option into the Rich Text Editor toolbar, you can add it as a custom toolbar items using the items property in toolbarSettings.
The following example illustrates how to set up the ImportWord in the Rich Text Editor to facilitate content importation from Word documents:
import { RichTextEditor, Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, Table, PasteCleanup, ImportExport } from '@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor';
RichTextEditor.Inject(Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, Table, PasteCleanup, ImportExport);
const hostUrl: string = 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/';
const importEditor: RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor({

}Exporting content to PDF and Microsoft Word
The Rich Text Editor’s export functionality allows users to convert their edited content into PDF or Word documents with a single click, preserving all text styles, images, tables, and other formatting elements.
You can add ExportWord and ExportPdf tools to the Rich Text Editor toolbar using the toolbarSettings items property.
The following example demonstrates how to configure the ExportWord and ExportPdf tools in the Rich Text Editor, facilitating the export of content into Word or PDF documents:
import { RichTextEditor, Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, Table, PasteCleanup, ImportExport } from '@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor';
RichTextEditor.Inject(Toolbar, Link, Image, HtmlEditor, QuickToolbar, Table, PasteCleanup, ImportExport);
const hostUrl: string = 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/';
