It's easy to exclude pictures and text formatting, see properties of

TRichView.RTFReadProperties: IgnorePictures, TextStyleMode and

ParaStyleMode.

In the next update, a new property will be added: IgnoreTables (content of

tables will be inserted in the main document).

Important note: TRichView does not support DBCS text - editing and selecting

may be wrong. If you want to support Asian language, use Unicode in

TRichView.

As for text pasting: text is converted to the language of keyboard layout at

the moment of copying. If there are no appropriate characters in this

language, unknown characters are converted to ?.

If you will use Unicode, this problem will be solved, at least partially

(copy-pasting text between Unicode application and non-Unicode application

still requires a proper language of the keyboard at the moment of copying)
