I'm wondering if there's a good way to just have straight text manipulation similar to what an HTML document would have. I'm building a help-file, and running into some issues.

I've worked mostly with web apps so far so I'm a little puzzled as to how things like this work in the Windows world. I've tried using multi-line textboxes and stuff, but nothing quite gives the flexibility of, say, FrontPage or Word text editing.

I'm basically looking for something clean to let me use newlines, change font for a section and stuff like that.

Am I better off just opening an HTML document?
 
Try a RichTextBox control
