The markup you provided was not able to be opened in wordpad.
I took your text and put it in wordpad, then formatted it as Arial - 10 - Bold
and the following is what the markup looks like:
*Note any wrapping in the news reader is done by the news reader. There are no
line wraps in the markup.
{Begin Markup}
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0
Arial;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Calibri;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit
5.41.21.2510;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sa200\sl276\slmult1\lang9\b\fs20 RAISED PANEL
STEEL DOOR - SANDSTONE RAISED PANEL STEEL DOOR - SANDSTONE
RAISED\b0\f1\fs22\par}
{End Markup}
I can verify that the above markup when read from disk into a VarChar variable
shows up in a Variable Richedit control in a report formatted as it was in
Wordpad.
