I'm real new to the embedded object stuff.

In the code example you gave, what would you do if you wanted to
a) show a previously created Word Document (eg let's call it dictation.doc)
b) show it on a form, within something like an editbox with scroll bars on the side
c) maintain all the formatting originally entered in Word
d) make it read only (ie the user can't edit it)
