YOu could open your word document in a RichTextbox, but it's not quite easy to edit right there, i'm not sure either if you mean to shell the word documement, you could use Shellexecute api;
Code:
'In declarations
Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
'In code
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "C:\Worddocument.doc", "", "", 1
