Bernard,
There is at least one way but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. Word is not as flexible as excel when doing this (you can show excel menu and toolbars easily but I couldn't with word - meaning you would create your own toolbar if you can't either) :

oForm = Createobject('myForm')
oForm.Show
Read Events

Define Class myForm As Form
  Height = 600
  Width = 800

  Add Object wbrowser	As OleControl ;
    with top = 10, Height = 550, Width = 800, ;
    OleClass = 'Shell.Explorer'

  Procedure Init
      Local lcDoc, oWord
      lcDoc = Sys(5)+Curdir()+'myBase.Doc'
      StrToFile('',lcDoc)	
      With This.wbrowser
       .Silent = .t.
       .Navigate2(lcDoc)
       DO while .ReadyState # 4
       EndDo
      EndWith
  EndProc
  
  Procedure wbrowser.Refresh
    Nodefault
  Endproc

  Procedure QueryUnload
    Clear Events
  Endproc
Enddefine
