RTF Specification defines embedded JPEG / PNG picture files. This is unfortunately not compatible with RTFControls in .NET.
Such RTF document could be open by MS Word, but in RTF Control - no jpeg/png picture is displayed.
RTFControl can open embedded pictures as Windows meta file only.

It would be nice to have RTF->RTF conversion. "RTF with embedded JPG/PNG" -> "RTF with Windows meta file" for RTF Control and "RTF with Windows meta file" -> "RTF with embedded JPG/PNG" for more efficient data storage. I am opening such files using MS Word + OLE automation but there is need to have MS Word installed. MS Word saves such RTF files in compatible but stupid way (embedded picture is stored two times - as JPG and as Windows meta file).

thanks Jiri
