Is there a way to embed a Microsoft Word document to a Windows form?

Hi there. I was wondering about how you would embed a Microsoft Word document in a Windows form. I was using RichTextBox to load it in RTF, but I don't like the way the RichTextBox loads some of Word's Tables. Additionally, I like the selection tool better in Word than the RichTextbox on Word Tables as well.

Hi David,
Here are two approaches to opening word document inside a Winfodws form.
1. Using WebBrowser control to open (but without menubar and toolbar).
WebBrowser1.Navigate("C:\myDocment.doc")
2. Using third-part component winwordcontrol to open (with menubar and toolbar).

This article including demo project and C# source code, explains how you can integrate Microsoft Word (including Menubar and Toolbar) in your .NET applications.
By the way, here are two helpful tools:
1) Instant VB: C# to VB converter
The tool can convert entire C# project to corresponding VB.NET project, also can convert code snippet.
2) Convert C# code to VB.NET code by means of this Code Translator tool.
Also try this approach to open word document inside a Panel control.
