title: Cleaning up RTF text
body: <p>I'd like to take some RTF input and clean it to remove all RTF formatting except \ul \b \i to paste it into Word with minor format information.</p>
  
  <p>The command used to paste into Word will be something like:
  oWord.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteAndFormat(0) (with some RTF text already in the Clipboard)</p>
  
  <pre><code>{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Courier New;}}
  {\colortbl ;\red255\green255\blue140;}
  \viewkind4\uc1\pard\highlight1\lang3084\f0\fs18 The company is a global leader in responsible tourism and was \ul the first major hotel chain in North America\ulnone  to embrace environmental stewardship within its daily operations\highlight0\par
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do you have any idea on how I can clean up the RTF safely with some regular expressions or something? I am using VB.NET to do the processing but any .NET language sample will do.</p>
