hi,
i wanna create an editor like microsoft word!
i dont mean that efficient and complex! just a simple one!
so how can i simulate the PAGES !? for ex. page 1, page 2, ... in ms word! the blank pages i mean! that we can WRITE TEXT in the pages, and IMPORT PICTURES, and SAVE the file for example!

Since you probably are going to show a page at time, you don't need a richtextbox for each page. You may just store all the needed page info in a object of (your own defined) class Page (your Document would be a collection, at least an array, of Page objects) and load the current page content into the richtextbox.

Forget Word (at least for a while) and start with minimal requirements, for instance plain text. You may design a class Page having all the required attributes for actually rendering the contained text (for instance the text itself, the font properties and so on...)
