>>Yes it's possible. You can create VFP COM server and call it from Word.

Peter,

In MSWord, open document.
Then go to Menu Bar, View, ToolsBars, check Visual BAsic to get VisualBasic ToolBar.
Choose ControlToolBox, and from there the control you want.
After putting control on the document you may edit its code, appearance, etc.

Good Luck
