Here is a way to open a word document :

Add a COM reference :

Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library<br />

Then add the following namespace :

C#

using Microsoft.Office;
using office = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

And then in the code where you want to use, add this :

C#

var wordApp = new office.Application();
Document document=wordApp.Documents.Open(//Specify the parameters)

Solution 1

I would simplify the problem by creating new Process.

Process.Start("winword.exe");

Opening word application within a group box is not a trivial task.

Can you elaborate this topic? I am creating a WPF application. I an using tab control in my application. And under a particular tab there is group box where I want to display the word application. Can you please upload the code that will be more explanatory.

Process.Start will start Microsoft Word as a separate application. If you like to embed the Word app into your WPF you would rather want to consult P/Invoke topic proposed by Tarun.K.S.
