You can host Microsoft Office applications inside a control using the DSO Framer. You simply :

Add a reference to DSOFramer COM dll.
Right-click on your Toolbox in Visual Studio -> Choose Items -> COM Components -> DSO Gramer Control Object
Drag a new DSO Framer on to your form or parent control
And call framerControl.Open(@"C:\SomeDocument.doc"); - it will work out which Office application to embed.

Alternatively you can use the Win32 API to embed other programs into a Panel control inside your own application.
