What's the best word processing component for .NET [closed]

I'm looking for a word processing component for .NET that would act like an embedded MS Word in my WinForm/WPF .NET app. The main goal being for users to be able to create rich formatted text. I don't really want to have to write a highly custom RichTextBox component. Any suggestions?

Microsoft Word is the most widely used word processing software according to a user tracking system built into the software. Microsoft estimates that roughly half a billion people use the Microsoft Office suite, which includes Word.

Is there anything better than Microsoft Word?

The best alternative is LibreOffice - Writer, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Microsoft Word are Google Docs, WPS Writer, Apache OpenOffice Writer and TextMaker. Microsoft Word alternatives are mainly Word Processors but may also be Note-taking Tools or Novel Authoring Tools.

We're using the TXTextControl release 14 for .Net and we're very happy about it. It has all the positive things you can ask: cheap, well supported, up to date with latest Word releases, fast and not really hungry for memory or resources. The included word processor sample is very good code and we converted it in a proper "word control" in about 1 day of work and included it in our solution in another day, so also using it is very simple, also if it has a lot of features.
Download it from http://www.textcontrol.com/

We have used another Aspose words control to generate word documents in asp.net application and it rendered them perfectly.
