Using Word as an embedded editor

I want to create and edit Word documents from "inside" a Delphi app .. RichEdit/RTF will not suffice because I need to retain the style names .. the name that comes up in the drop down list box in Word.

OK, so I need Word as an "embedded editor". There is various automation stuff around re starting Word, but I would like to start it as if it was in a window that I controlled - I want it to start in a smallish window near where I click on a node in a treeview.

any clues?

Then to make it more interesting, I want to be notified if the user has saved or closed that document.  I would prefer to control how they save it and whether they can close it, but being notified would suffice.

thanks
