Hi!!

In my application, i need to add the different word documents. But when i open i want to open it in the word file. Instead of opeining in the Richtextbox control which opens only rtf file extension. How do i do it. Is there any control which embeds the word application as well as the excel appplication . So we can open and edit into it.

Please help me out in this.

--In the above link, the poster demonstrates how to replace text inside of a word document and save those changes

You open the object the same way as the prior links, but he actually performs actions on the Document object to make changes.

--In the MSDN link, you have visibility into all of the available members and methods of the Document object

That's the best I can do for you.
