>hi cetin. thanks for your reply. i tried puting web browser control from vfp component gallary to my form. i didnt know how to link it to a word file. i tried this.navigate2('c:\temp\doc1.doc\') and it worked. but i get 'open or save' dialog box each time i load the form. and second,it lets me change anything in the word document. i want it to be only for view purpose

I believe the rich text control might work.
