Hi Peter,

There is an interesting idea recently discussed in a Russian site at http://forum.foxclub.ru/read.php?29,276949,279499#msg-279499

I made a quick test, created a modal form and put this code in the Init:

DECLARE SetParent IN user32 integer hWndChild, integer hWndParent    
    
  DECLARE integer SetWindowPos IN User32 ;    
    	integer Wnd_handler, integer Window_Order, ;    
    		integer X1, integer Y1, integer X2, integer Y2, integer wFlags    
    		    		  
  DECLARE LONG FindWindow IN Win32API ;    
        STRING lpClassName;    
        ,STRING lpWindowName    
          		  
    loWord = CREATEOBJECT( 'WORD.APPLICATION')   
    lcFile = GETFILE('doc') 
    loDoc=m.loWord.Documents.Add(m.lcFile)   
      
    _PP=lodoc.name +" - "+loword.CAPTION  
     
    word_hwnd=FindWindow(NULL,_pp)   
    SetParent( word_hwnd, thisform.HWnd)  
    setWindowPos( word_hwnd,0,0,INT(THISFORM.Height/2),THISFORM.Width-1,THISFORM.HEIGHT-1,0)   
    loword.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = 1  
    
  loword.VISIBLE=.T.

Code from this thread, I didn't try to play with it much. I think it may be a starting point.
