To reproduce: Add a RadRichTextBox, type some text and a few new lines(by pressing Enter), enter some more text. Now export the document to a string using TxtFormatProvider then Import it. You will notice that the new lines are missing. Workaround: Use the following Import method: public RadDocument Import(string input) { RadDocument document = new RadDocument(); Section section = new Section(); document.Sections.Add(section); string[] paragraphs = GetParagraphsFromText(input); for (int i = 0; i < paragraphs.Length; i++) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(paragraphs[i])) { paragraphs[i] = DocumentEnvironment.NewLine; } Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(); section.Blocks.Add(paragraph); Span span = new Span(paragraphs[i]); paragraph.Inlines.Add(span); } return document; } private string[] GetParagraphsFromText(string input) { return this.CleanUpNewLines(input).Split(new string[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.None); } private string CleanUpNewLines(string str) { StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(str.Length); bool hasSeenCr = false; for (int i = 0, l = str.Length; i < l; ++i) { if (str[i] == '\r') { if (hasSeenCr) { result.Append(DocumentEnvironment.NewLine); } hasSeenCr = true; } else if (str[i] == '\n') { result.Append(DocumentEnvironment.NewLine); hasSeenCr = false; } else { if (hasSeenCr) { result.Append(DocumentEnvironment.NewLine); hasSeenCr = false; } result.Append(str[i]); } } if (hasSeenCr) { result.Append(DocumentEnvironment.NewLine); } return result.ToString(); } Resolution: This issue is addressed in the new version of the control - RadRichTextEditor. Please use the new control instead the RadRichTextBox.
