Need to save rtf summary information, e.g. right-click document, Properties

Hello,
I am trying to create a windows form using c# to open and
edit an rtf file. The problem is that the rtf files that I open and
edit have some "Summary" details, like "Title", "Author", "Comments"
etc… These can be viewed by right-clicking on the rtf file selecting
Properties and then Summary.

The problem is that after editing the file and then saving it, (I am
using a RichTextBox control) I lose all of these details, how can I
keep from losing this information?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Steve

Hi Patrick, thanks for the response, but I still require a little bit
more information.

You say that the information is not lost, that it is still in the rtf
header, ok, so how do I access this information? Please can you point
me in the right direction, and if you have an example that would be
fantastic.

Thanks a lot,
Steve
