Remarks

If you work with a selection range, make sure that the GetDocBytes method is enclosed with DocumentRange.BeginUpdateDocument - DocumentRange.EndUpdateDocument method pair. Otherwise, an incorrect document model might be selected, and an exception “Error: specified document position or range belongs to other document or subdocument” is thrown.

To retrieve section settings, make sure that the range contains the last section’s paragraph. Otherwise, the section settings are reset to the default.

C#

DocDocumentExporterOptions docOptions = richEditControl.Options.Export.Doc;
docOptions.ExportedDocumentProperties = DocumentPropertyNames.Creator | DocumentPropertyNames.Title | DocumentPropertyNames.Modified;

byte[] bytes = richEditControl.Document.GetDocBytes(richEditControl.Document.Range, docOptions);
File.WriteAllBytes(@"D:\testdoc.doc", bytes);
