GeneralMS Word like tables Pin

Hi all:

I consider myself an advanced beginner so decided to challenge myself.

What I'd like to do is create an app gives the user the ability to create tables similar to those found in Word. The app would NOT tie to a database, so grid control is out. Anyway, my understanding is that the grid control cannot support multiline, so that makes it impractical anyway. Table cells would be created on-the-fly (e.g. the user presses tab and a cell is added)


Here are some of the solutions I've considered:

1. Multiple text boxes - depending on the keypressed, a new text box either beside or below the previous box (to start a new row or column). The problem I see with this is that I'd have boxes of varying sizes, each with its own scrollbars.
2. Table control in asp.net - This appears to give me the table functions I need, but I don't want to require IIS be running. Would IIS be necessary?
3. System.Web.UI.HTMLControls (Table Class) - Could I in some way use these with the Active X Web Browser (shdocvw.dll) to run a VBScript and implement the controls.
4. System.Drawing classes - yikes, don't even want to go there

I know the generousity of the community and there will be those who write, "Here's a code snippet for you to use, try this..." While I appreciate that, right now, I'd just like someone to give me some hints, not specific answers.

TIA for any help.
Norm
