Using OLE with Word as Editor

[surfbored]

I've been trying to get Word "embedded" into my application to make it the
default editor for my users, but I've been having a lot of trouble making it
behave when Word is running at the same time as my application (e.g. toolbars
don't always merge, edit area sometimes loses focus, etc.).

Outlook seems to use Word very well, and I'd like to immitate that behavior
or have something similar. Can anyone suggest a resource that might put me on
the right track?

Thanks!

My guess is that you are working with the WebBrowser control.
Microsoft has recognized that it has issues with commandbars and I get the
impression they won't be doing much about it.

Good luck.

Thanks for the link, but I'm not actually using the WebBrowser control. I am
in fact using an OLE container. The link is helpful, but not really what I
was looking for.

Any other suggestions? Anyone?
