How to embed a MS Word in a window

Hi in my project there is a window where I have to embed a word application using OLE. It is fine for Internet explorer, but for Word rather embedding it is opening as a separate application. One thing if I use IWebBrowser2 to achieve it is fine, but there is a problem relating to history so I am trying to do it in this way.

The flow is as follows: The syntax is based on plain C.

CLSID idMsWord;
HRESULT hr;
IStorage *pStorage;
IOleObject *browserObject;
_IOleClientSiteEx *_iOleClientSiteEx;


hr = CLSIDFromProgID(L"word.document", &idMsWord);

hr = StgCreateStorageEx(NULL, STGM_READWRITE | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE | STGM_DIRECT | STGM_CREATE, STGFMT_DOCFILE, 0, NULL, 0, &IID_IStorage, (LPVOID*) &pStorage);

if (!OleCreate(&idMsWord, &IID_IOleObject, OLERENDER_DRAW, 0, (IOleClientSite *)_iOleClientSiteEx, (void**)pStorage, (void**)&browserObject))
{
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rect);
rect = *R;
// Let word object know that it is embedded in an OLE container.
if (!OleSetContainedObject((struct IUnknown *)browserObject, TRUE))
{
browserObject->lpVtbl->DoVerb(browserObject, OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE, NULL, (IOleClientSite *)_iOleClientSiteEx, -1, hwnd, &rect);
browserObject->lpVtbl->Release(browserObject);
}
}
_IOleClientSiteEx is the structure which holds IOleClientsite.
Now when DoVerb is beieng executed a new word application is being opened as a separate application rather as an embedded one.

Please help to resolve this issue as it is related to my project.

Thanks

Now I got some concept, I have to implement an OLECONTAINER to host MS Word, again from where I will get the interfaces for Word. In other way I can use all the proeprties & methods of MS Word using IDispatch, but what about other interfaces
IOleClientSite, IOleInPlaceFrame. All your sugestions valuable in this regard.

It's a Usenet FAQ.
2 lines of code to embed Word...
(see win32 api ngs)

I have searched a lot. Can you tell what is the exact method name?
