C#

using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...

// Create an XRRichText object.
XRRichText xrRichText1 = new XRRichText();

// Set its height to be calculated automatically,
// and make its borders visible.
xrRichText1.CanGrow = true;
xrRichText1.CanShrink = true;
xrRichText1.Borders = DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BorderSide.All;

// Load the control content from a file.
xrRichText1.LoadFile("input.docx", XRRichTextStreamType.XmlText);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
' ...

' Create an XRRichText object.
Dim xrRichText1 As XRRichText = New XRRichText
' Set its height to be calculated automatically,
' and make its borders visible.
xrRichText1.CanGrow = true
xrRichText1.CanShrink = true
xrRichText1.Borders = DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BorderSide.All
' Load the control content from a file.
xrRichText1.LoadFile("input.docx", XRRichTextStreamType.XmlText)
