>A simple problem, I suppose: I use an general field, OLE container in a VFP form, to link to a word doc-file. By double-clicking on the field in the form, the document opens in Word for editing. But - I would like word to come up normal and maximized, not just a smaller window in the middle of the screen. Hope it is possible, and why should it not be? I also look for somebody who would volunteer do discuss the use of OLE and Word with VFP with me.

Have a look at the DoVerb command in the help file.

Be warned, there is a bug (in VFP 5.0 / Word 6/95, anyway) with the OLE container control for Word documents that will reset the page size to 'Custom' and the same width as the OLE container (e.g. 4 inches). Mr Pikman's answer is probably better than using embedded Word objects, especially as it's very hard to detect when a user has finished or updated the Word Object via a container.
