Have you given a thought on RichTextBox control? You can do some basic tex
formatting that can be read by almost all word processing app. If your
formatting requirements are beyond what RichTextBox control can provide, I'd
say you probably have to target a certain word processiing app, and most
likely, it would be MS Word, and users of your app have to have MS Word
installed.

The other applications should provide basic functionalities like, adding table or adding images
Rich text control doesn't provide this

Is it possible that some kind of html editor is embedded with application and let user create the document with it
But he editor should be as easy as word, user need not to create html code
Then the generated html can be converted into word or pdf. Is this possible
Please advice
