I'm not entirely sure that you can, and even if you did find a way i'm sure that there would be some un-readable characters due to the formatting.

You have to export the Word file to RTF (Rich Text File) format which is recognized by RichTextBox. You can use Word Automation to make the export from Word to RTF. Connect to the document and use the SaveAs method.

FYI:

Microsoft supplies an ActiveX control which allows developers to embed Office files for in-place editing and viewing while giving more control than the WebBrowser control. The ActiveX is called Dsoframer.ocx and more info can be found here: ActiveX Control for Hosting Office Documents in Visual Basic
