OLEContainer and word is a never ending story within my application.

Please tell me, if you don't understand my problem.

If word is not opened outside, there are no problems with loading and
working on a word document inside the olecontainer.
But if word is started outside my application, i have no control to the word
document inside the olecontainer. After i activate the olecontainer
(OLEContainer1.DoVerb(ovshow)), i can work on the word document inside the
olecontainer, but i have no control to the word document outside my
application.
If i now write a text on the document within the OLEContainer, i see that
the spelling function on the document outside my application is working.

I think i make a misstake during the initialization or loading process of
the OLEContainer. It seems that both, the document within the OLEContainer
and the document outside use the same instance.

I use folling code to load the word document into the OLEContainer:

var word_doc: OLEVariant;
begin
....
OLEContainer1.CreateObject('Word.Document',false);
OLEContainer1.CreateObjectFromFile('test.doc',false);
OLEContainer1.DoVerb(ovInPlaceActivate);
word_doc:= OLEContainer1.OleObject.application;
....
end;

I hope anybody has an idea.
Thanks for help.
