Hi,

I've tried hosting word inside my application (by adding a Web Browser
control and using Navigate() to my document - apparently the recommended
method - after setting appropriate registry keys to turn off the default
opening in its own window).

I've found several problems however.

1. The Ribbon sometimes disappears - seems related to when I switch between
other applications and my application - once it disappears, its gone, no
coming back. Note I'm not talking about how it shrinks like when you double
click e.g. Home, Insert, etc, I mean the whole ribbon and the menu headers
are gone - just the QAT left. Ctrl-F1 doesn't help.

2. The office 2003 shortcut keys (e.g. alt-A,I,B to insert row below in
table) all stop functioning - as though word doesn't know I'm pressing them.

3. Sometimes if I switch to an external word document, then back to my
hosted application, the hosted application's Word Ribbon freezes and doesn't
respond to mouse clicks - but I can still type into the document and use
right click etc.

I tried searching this forum, but oddly the Search is presently returning 0
results for anything I try and search for.

Also, I considered hosting word using DSOFramer but apparently that is not
recommended any more or even available?

Anyone been down this path before and have comments?

you've hit a general purpose Word newsgroups.

You'll have a much better chance of getting an answer in one of the
dev/VBA newsgroups [1], or maybe in the ISV/VBA forum [2].
