How do I anchor a window to a Word application.

[Claude Martel]

When running Word 2003, some actions (like File|New...) display a
toolbar containing an html page. I am creating a Word Add-in in VB.net
and I would like a window I create to show as a docked window instead
of on top of Word.

Does someone know how to create a toolbar that contain an html page
(or any custom control) or how to anchor any window to a Word
application?

Hi Claude,

What you describe sounds like the SmartDocument technology. You might
want to do a search on that term on the MSDN website; you should find
an SDK and some articles. The appropriate newsgroup would be
office.smarttags
