>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.

There is a complete spec in MS Site (almost 200 pages)....I downloaded once...if you wanted I can look for it and send it you by mail...
