Addition :

cDoc = "c:\temp\oursample.doc"
IF .NOT. EMPTY( cDoc ) .AND. FILE ( cDoc )

  append blank
  append general WordDoc from (cDoc) link
  thisform.addobject('oOLEobj','oleBoundControl' )
  with thisform.oOLEobj
    .left = 1
    .Top = 1
    .height = thisform.height - 2
    .width = thisform.Width - 2
    .controlsource="dummy.worddoc"
    .Visible = .t.
