Q1: How can I change the background color of a selected piece of text in the Rich Text control. The online documentation says that the "\cb" RTF code should do the trick but I had no luck (although its partner "\cf" DOES work for changing the forecolor) I looked at the RTF codes generate by Word when saving a document as RTF. It used the "\highlight" code but the RTF control seems to ignore this RTF code.

Q2: Where can I get a list of RTF codes and examples of how to use them? (The list given with the Rich Text Control, version 6 isn't very helpful.
