Load Word Excel into WPF

To simplify things what you can do is print the document to XPS which comes with office or Windows (can't remember which) as a printer of the name "Microsoft XPS Document Writer".

Once you have the document, this can be displayed using a view of:

<DocumentViewer Name="docContent"/>

And simply set the document.

System.Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument doc
    = new System.Windows.Xps.Packaging.XpsDocument(
    "myDoc.xps", System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
docContent.Document = doc.GetFixedDocumentSequence();

For this to work you only need to reference "ReachFramework".

As for edit support you can use the XPS manipulation strategies provided by the XPS specification.

You add web browser control from toolbox and then load the Word document in it. You can even open any document that browser support e.g. Word, Excel, PDF, SWF etc...

Example Load Word

webBrowser1.Navigate("C:\\word.doc");

Example Load Excel

webBrowser1.Navigate("C:\\excel.xls");
