I work with macros in Word. The input to the macro is a data set that may contain an RTF object. It could be plain text, a table or an image (maybe something else, but that’s what I’m focusing on). I’ve tried inserting RTF as is, but that just inserts the encoded string ({rtf1 and all…) into the document.

Sub InsertSPElement(iRow, arrTables)
    Dim text, full_text As String
    text = arrTables(iRow, 8)
    full_text = arrTables(iRow, 10) ' RTF String
    
    With Selection
        If StrComp(arrTables(iRow, 6), "Important", 1) = 0 Then
            .InsertAfter text:=text
            .Font.Bold = True
            '.Range.SetListLevel Level:=CInt(arrTables(iRow, 3))
            .Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Header " & arrTables(iRow, 3))
            .InsertParagraphAfter
            .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
            
            If Len(full_text) > 0 Then
                .InsertAfter text:=full_text
                .Font.Bold = False
                .InsertParagraphAfter
                .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
            End If
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Is it possible to somehow take a string from rtf and transform it into something that it originally was, working only through a macro? I don’t have access to the document call because it happens through a third party application

I tried just put rtf-string through .InsertAfter, but it don’t work at all
