2. Why would you do that? As I said use AutoScroll.

3. How so? The scroll relates to the visible part of client controls. That is what you are seeing in the word processing application too, the "page" control is greater than screen/application window and when you use the window scroll it moves parts of the control into client view. That is what the Autoscroll does automatically. You need to set an appropriate page size for your RichTextBox control.
