I would like to know if it is possible to display word, or excel documents on a windows form.

I have used System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("word document") but this display the word document in a separate window. What I am trying to have is the office document open inside my windows form. I have also used a web browser on my windows form and this displays documents inside my form but I was wondering if there is any other way of displaying office documents using VSTO

Is this possible.

VSTO doesn't provide any way to host documents in Windows Forms. As you have found out, you can use a Web browser control to host documents, and also I believe I have heard of third-party controls that are supposed to do it too, but I don't know any details about that.
