You can do a find for the 'words' you want to color
then set the font and color for the selection

example
richTextBox.Find("class", RichTextBoxFinds.MatchCase);
richTextBox.SelectionFont = new Font("Verdana", 12, FontStyle.Bold);
richTextBox.SelectionColor = Color.Blue;

I'm not sure how you can do that...
I would begin by making a custom control that extends the richtextbox
then override the paint function...
Good luck

You *might* be able to make a Word Template, and save it as RTF format.
