>>at first I couldn't work out why this would be useful, but I think I am understanding now. The RichTextBox actually stores the code in XAML so I will need to convert it to HTML when I need to use. Is that right?

>Right, the default WPF RichTextBox uses a FlowDocument (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.documents.flowdocument.aspx). You can select a TextRange from that and save it to other formats (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms598701.aspx), but HTML is not one of those formats. You can use a XamlWriter to save the FlowDocument though and convert that to HTML. Craig's suggestion of using a third party control that has this functionality built in is probably the easier way to go though.

Thanks
