Reading in a formatted RTF file.

I want to read in an rtf file, that has color and things like that. After it is read in, it puts the text in a text view. When I read it in, though, it gives me extra formatting text that is to tell where color is, and other things like that, and there is no formated text at all. How do you read in an RTF file, and keep the formatting?

Thank you so much! It works great!
