MS Word Viewer integration into a VB application

[cbd]

Could somebody please provide me with technical information explaining how to
integrate the MS Word Viewer into a an VB application ? Do we have to use
specific API ? or specific OCX ?

thanks in advance

As far as I am aware, this is impossible. The Word viewer does not expose
any kind of automation interface.

The most you can do is use ShellExecute to run the commandline of the
application to start the viewer, perhaps passing a filename to it.

cdb,

You may get some mileage out of this unsupported component from MS:

It allows you to host Office applications from within VB forms. I've used it
to host word...I think it should work with the viewer as well.
