MSWord in Progress panel

I want to create a notepad function with MS-Word functionality like spellchecking, possibility to print a part of the whole text, fonts, bold, Italic and other MS-Word functionality.

When I open a new window in the Progress Appbuilder I can add an OCX object to my window. But in the "Choose Control" panel I can't choose MS-Word OCX. But I can find Excel, Binder and other Microsoft OCX possibilities. For a solution to my problem I browsed almost every Progress site I know, but couldn´t find what I'm looking for.

Can anybody help me?
 
You could use the RichtTextControl-ocx (for this, you need to have & register the RichTx32.ocx -> comes with Visual Studio,...). This will allow you most of the needed functions (except the spellchecking).

Or, like Edward points out: use OLE to control the "real" MS-Word (of course, all your clients require to have MS-Word installed).
