Embedding a word Window in VB.NET word app
Hello All,
Is it possible to embed a word (window) inside a rich client. I'm currently
working on a rich client and would like to open a downloaded document within
the windows form itself. Any ideas or suggestions would greatly appreciated.
thanks,
chris
Two ways to do this:
(1) Use the Office XP Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnofftalk/html/office10032002.asp
(2) Host the WebBrowser control and navigate to the appropriate Office doc. WebBrowser is a generic Active Document Server Host, and can display most Active Documents in-place.

I suggest you to try DSOFramer instead of hosting Word into a Webbrowser. I used it in a .NET windows forms project succesfully.
