Using MS Office Drawing Facility?

[Harish]

I am creating a Visual C++ 6.0 application. My requirement is to be able to
use MS Office drawing facility in my application. The user should be able to
draw everything that Word can do.
(a) Is it possible to use it?
(b) If yes, how? (COM component?)
(c) In what format can I store them?
(d) Is it possible to add my own drawing components in it?
(e) Any pointers to sample code please?

The Word/Office object models give you some access to the drawing capabilities
presented to the end-user. You can only access them through automating an
application; they aren't available as a separate component, so you cannot use
them in your application.
