Hi, sorry if my line of questioning is way off whack... I think I'm pretty
far off at the moment.  I keep on reading about host controls found in
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word, and how they are extended versions of the
regular interop ones.  The documentation says:

"When you create a Microsoft Office Word 2003 application, Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System automatically creates a
Document host item within the project. You reference the Document host item
using ThisDocument."

Now, I am creating an add-in for Word 2007 using Visual Studio 2005 and VSTO
SE, and no document host is in my project.  There is no ThisDocument.  All
of the documentation that I read makes it seem as though there should be,
and adding host controls is as easy as apple pie, but I can't seem to find
any bridge between the interop stuff in my add-in and the extended code
found in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.  As a matter of fact, I just checked
and my project didn't even have a reference to that assembly... ok... so I'm
guessing that I'm the problem here... and that I am way off somewhere... and
my guess is I probably don't need the extended host controls anyway.  I
can't seem to figure out how they are better... except that I can
drag-n-drop them at design-time... that is... assuming I have something that
I can drag-n-drop them onto... which I don't :o)

if anyone could straighten me out and get me pointed in the right direction,
it would be very much appreciated...

Thank you in advance,
Chris
