display a word doc in a form

I need to diplay an entire Microsoft Word document in a form, and let
the user be able to scroll to its pages.

If the word document is a linked OLE object I get only a picture of
the first rows and I'm not able to scroll.

I need something like Rich Text Box, even simpler only displaying.
The problem with Rich Text Box is that doesn't keep all the word
formatting.

Thanks, Lauro

P.S.:

See if the DsoFramer control answers your needs.

Thanks for your suggestions.
It's exactly what I was looking for.

But I think I'm going back to OLE Linking. The DsoFramer has a strange
behavior on an Access form: there is always an annoying space on top
if I take off the menubar or toolbar and is very slow in updating (I
was using the Current Event to take the FullName of the word document
and open it in dsoFramer). Beside I should disable all the interaction
with Word becase I don't want the user mess with the document.

Actually what I was trying to do is a form with a multipage control:
on the first page some text/number fields; on the second page a field
with a Word Document.
I thought was nice to allow the user to be able to scroll the entire
document if needed. But maybe if he wants to read it he can open Word.

thanks, Lauro
