Help please

I have data in an access database and I can convert to
excel if it would help. One of the fields has data that is
in an RTF String. The application that uses this database
can't export the data in the field at all. Is there a way
using a Rich Textbox Control or some other way to convert
the data to a plain text?

I am looking to import the data into excel, but need basic
text

TIA
