Fernando,
It'd be much easier and painless if you let word have its own window IMHO.

>>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).
