NOV Rich Text Editor bridges HTML and old text processing models, while offering unique features to edit both word-like and HTML documents. The software streamlines text editing and formatting, improving productivity and versatility.

The Text Editor control comes equipped with an array of main features, including Character Formatting, Paragraph Formatting & Styles, Bullets and Numbering, Tables, Sections, Group Blocks, Table of Contents, Fields, Hyperlinks & Bookmarks, Mail Merge, Spell Checking, Foreign language support, Image Formats (JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, Animated GIF, EMF, WMF), Text Formats (DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTML, NTB and NTX, EPUB, PDF - export only), Printing, Advanced Editing Features, and a few Unique Features.
One of the key standouts of the NOV Text Editor is its speed. It's said to be about five times faster than MS Word in both RTF import and layout processing speed, and can handle massive amounts of text, including 1000+ page documents.
Beyond speed, the Text Editor boasts presentation features commonly found in desktop publishing applications, including the ability to apply images, gradients, and stroke to all text elements. It also has an Open URL feature, allowing the control to open URL with HTML directly, just like a browser.
Paging control is another robust feature, supporting page formatting instructions at every level of the document tree, including tables and floating blocks. This means users can insert page breaks inside table cells, something no other text processing program can achieve.
It is also worth mentioning the Widgets, as it allows users to embed every other widget found in NOV inside the text content, allowing them to create HTML-like interfaces. The Widgets can be persisted in text binary and XML formats (NTB and NTX), printed, and exported to PDF. Overall, the NOV Rich Text Editor appears to be a powerful tool for anyone who needs a fast, robust, and versatile text processor.
