I want to create a simple windows form application which looks like Microsoft Word. I am using RichTextBox control right now. I did not find any way to make it have multiple pages, as Microsoft Word does. I just need a control (I guess it is RichTextbox) that can have multiple pages. I have tried RichTextBox but it was completely useless. Is there any other control or does Microsoft Word have any API to interact with through C# code? Is there any control to use?
This is the closest solution that I can suggest, but it is not exactly what you are asking for.
Basically, you can use some of the Microsoft office objects and classes, but it is not just a plug and play interface and requires some work on your end.
You may like this one too (again not a simple rich text control)

Where would I start if I want to create my own text editor on the UWP platform?
The TextBox and RichEditBox have many limitations that hinder my requirements for a text control, and so I would like to create my own. I know it will be a long tedious process, but I don't mind putting in the work. I just don't even know what APIs to begin with. Thanks.
I would suggest that you start by looking at source code that others have written. You can download the following projects from GitHub:
10Develops/textie
ph1ll/UwpEdit
jan-patrick/ScriptText
UWP-Open-Source-Community/Atom
springcomp/TextPad
karan-randhawa/Notepad-Sharp
ph1ll/UwpEdit
Besides reading the code and running in the Debugger, I would also suggest looking at the Commit history for these apps on GitHub, to see what problems the developers struggled with.

I am using ExcelDna and C# to build a suite of tools. Part of that will be forms from which I'd want to user to select cells/ranges from the workbook.
I've got the Application.InputBox route working...but it just doesn't look as cool...
I haven't read many good things about Excel's RefEdit control, and see what many have in the past written workarounds, often in (shudder) VBA or VB.Net.
However, none of these seem to be recent... What is the best approach/control for RefEdit functionality on a form run via ExcelDna (if applicable)?
The RefEdit sample project of GitHub explores different ways of dealing with the threading when showing a form from an Excel add-in, which is the main issue with making a RefEdit control for your .NET add-in.

Due to the nature of the keywords, I find it difficult to easily google this. I want to implement a "help" item on the menu bar that will launch some basic documentation for the user to read, after I have written it. Are there any standards or libraries I should be aware about before diving into this aspect? The program incorporating the "help" functionality will be a C# WPF Desktop application.
Example from MS Word :
I'm sure they don't reinvent the wheel every time they use the help function, and I don't want to either. Where can I look to find something open source that is similar to this functionality and maybe some general guidelines on how to write help for non-technical and technical users?
I think that following links should be useful for you.

I did a business app on the Windows Phone 8 platform (XAML, C#),
and used the microsoft.phone.toolkit to make an awesome calendar.
Now I need to rewrite the app for the Surface (winrt) and there is no easy way to this as far as I have searched, I got one perfectly fine calendar, Here, but I can't edit it to look like the rest of my metro app, so I would like any advice or links to classes I can use to get a calendar into my app? I don't have the time to create my own from scratch... But will do it if I can get a very good tutorial on where to start with it.
Actually, both of you guys point to exact same project I wrote sometime ago. If you want to change the look of the calendar, just create your own style that replaces the one that ships with nuget. The link from above does show a style that ships with it. You can either edit that one or (better) create your own and inject it through a resource dictionary. if you download project from CodePlex, it should show you how to replace default styles.
Thanks.

I have an application which could easily be controlled by a bot over network or even on the local machine(which simuates keyboard and mouse e.g.).
I want to avoid this using a captcha. The source has to work without internet / has to be generated during runtime on the computer itself.
Is there any open-source project for this or can someone give me a code example or a link ?
I've found an article "Simple CAPTCHA, Create your own in C#" by Raymund Macaalay. It is for an ASP.NET app, but he generates a normal C# bitmap image using different random fonts in STEP2, so this should also work in your WinForms app.
