I am having trouble loading a Word document by filename into an OLE
container. I have the following class declaration:

type
  TThing = class(TComponent)
     ...
     TheThing: TOleContainer;
     ...
  end;

After creating TThing I create TheThing like this:

     TheThing := TOleContainer.Create(Self);
     TheThing.Name := 'NormalTemplate';

And later on:

     TheThing.CreateObjectFromFile('C:\Microsoft
Office\Templates\Normal.dot', False);

Trying to execute this produces the following error message:

Control 'NormalTemplate' has no parent window.

I have tried the CreateParented method and setting the ParentWindow
property for the OLE container, but nothing works. I know this has to
work somehow. If I do this in Word VBA, using:

      Set thisDoc = GetObject(fileName)

Word loads the document, but does not show it, and I can do normal
editing operations on it.
