Is it possible to dock Word right into a C# program? I am in need of
something like what is described here -->
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304662 but I need the whole Word
application within the program (specifically so that the File Menu Bar
is shown). Is there anything out there that can dock separate programs
within a C# application?

Thanks in advance for the help.
 
You can try setting the parent of the application window to your
application. However, you can have some nasty side effects as a result.
I've never seen applications that work like this do it very well.

Is there another approach you can take?

Use an activeX container. There's one in msdn called DSOFramer. I don't
have a link to the msdn location, but I did save the (inactive) community
improvement site's address. The control's written in C(++?), with a vb6 demo
app. Using the vb update tool as a base I was able to get it working in an
afternoon. IT provided full support to word, and ~95% coverage of Excel
(track changes was broken, maybe a few other things as well).

Dan,

This is precisely what we are looking for! Thank you so much for
bringing this to our attention. We were successfully able to bring
Word into our C# application.

Thanks again,

Rob K
