>>1. Is there a way to make an RTF control transparent?

>>2. Is there a way to set a wallpaper-like background for an RTF control?
>>
>>3. Is there a way to force an RTF control to word wrap its contents to fit its control boundries vs. use the page margins set in the original RTF content? Is there a way to turn off or remove page margin settings in an RTF file so that an RTF control will word wrap its contents?

>>4. Is there a way to determine what text a mouse cursor is over when a mouse is moved over the contents of an RTF control?

>1. AFAIK no. It has its own window (Unless you use winAPI but that AFAIK supported by w2K and later)
>2. Might be. You could try watermarking a word doc and saving as RTF to get RTF codes.
>3. Set RightMargin to 0. thisform.OleRTF.RightMargin = 0
>4. Above me currently :) With and editbox below code might provide a nonsmart way :

LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord

BTW if you can find 'BrochureMachine' somewhere on MS site. They did almost what you want using C in HTML.
