+# How to Convert a Word Document to an RTF File Using the .NET Word Library
+
+This repository provides an example of how to convert a Word document to RTF, and an RTF file to a Word document using the **Syncfusion .NET Word Library (DocIO)**. 
+
+## Process Behind Word–RTF Conversion
+
+This sample shows how easily you can switch between Word (.docx) and Rich Text Format (.rtf) using the Syncfusion DocIO library. These conversions are useful when you need to:
+
+- Share documents in a lightweight, widely supported RTF format.
+- Preserve text formatting while avoiding the full complexity of a DOCX file.
+- Integrate RTF files into applications that require plain rich-text formatting.
+
+Using the Syncfusion DocIO library, you can:
+
+- Convert a Word document (.docx) to an RTF file (.rtf).
+- Convert an RTF file (.rtf) back to a Word document (.docx).
+
+## Steps to use the sample
+
+1. Open the ASP.NET Core application where the Syncfusion DocIO package is installed.
+2. Run the application and click the following buttons:
+   - **Word to RTF**: Converts an existing Word document to an RTF file.
+   - **RTF to Word**: Converts an existing RTF file back to a Word document.
