Hi, You got to make your application to be a container. for this the Document should be derived from a COleDocument instead of a CDocument. Create a project with the container option in the third step of the MFC class wizard. by default you'll get an insert object in the Edit Menu. use that and insert MS Word Document. your application would then host an MS-Word document.

Are you creating it after the inherited OnInitialUpdate is called? Returns the GetDlgItem(IDC_PLACEHOLDER) a valid pointer? Also I missed a part of the code, after the sheet is created, you need to set it's size and position: CRect rectPropSheet; pwndPropSheetHolder->GetWindowRect(rectPropSheet); m_sheet->SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, rectPropSheet.Width(), rectPropSheet.Height(), SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE); Pavel Sonork 100.15206

Open the the sourve and target Rc in Textmode or with a texteditor, than copy and paste the Dialoges. You must than also copy the ID defines from the header and ready. PS: you could also put some Standard-dialoges in an extra dll Try this @ home. (B&B)

Thanks for your reply i will do as u suggesst.
