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.

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 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)

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.
Check this page for links to various other implementations: https://github.com/Excel-DNA/ExcelDna/wiki/Links-about-RefEdit

I want to use voice activated commands on my website. I have already implemented it on win forms using System.Speech.Recognition. However can't manage to use it on web application. Example code snippet would be appreciated.
Can I use it with web service?
Yes it is possible to have voice activated commands on your website, but it'll probably be difficult to refactor you winforms code. There are many articles around, so I suggest you google around a little bit further. You have the choice: you can go for the server-side route or you can use client-side frameworks (or some hybrid approach).
Another option is to use the browser's built in Speech recognition capabilities. Chrome, for example, has this which can turn any input field into a speech-aware input field.

Do you know any freely available WPF component for using masks (regex) in textbox?
I think you will find what you need in this control library: http://www.codeplex.com/WPFDeveloperTools
Look for 'FilteredTextBox' amongst all the other useful controls. I don't think it does regex, but it should be able to filter just about everything you need, and since you will have the source, you should find it easy to enhance.
As a bonus, it is free and open source on CodePlex.
You can also find a nice blog post about how to go about implementing this yourself here: http://marlongrech.wordpress.com/2007/10/28/masked-textbox/
Extended WPF Toolkit has a MaskedTextBox similar to the one that was in WinForms. As with the old one, this doesn't actually support RegExes, but has a subset of useful masks.
Oh, and it's on NuGet, which is nice.
Coding Monk has a good TextboxEditMask Behavior. You can either download the source code or just use the dlls.
