Dropping an OleControl (doc) on VFP form would do that as In-place editing but ill behaving (Outlook can do that because they're in the same Office family and using the same set of libs, language)

>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I have Outlook right in my front now, and am editing an email message. The text is written in an "editbox" where MS Word is doing the editing work, behind the scenes.
>>>
>>>I can see the "new message" as a form where Word is embedded, with its toolbars etc.
>>>
>>>I already use automation but all my attempts to "embed" Word in a form resulted in very poor results.
>>>
>>>Can I mimic that Outlook's "form" in VFP?

>>Fernando,
>>You could but however somewhat painfull. Create an emty doc file. Use a web browser control and navigate2 to created .doc file. I was even be able to invoke word's macro recording from there in the past as I remember (my preference is to invoke word in its own window and actually hate outlook's behavior).
