Yes you can create such a program; assuming you have enough experience of creating Windows Forms applications.

Actually it's my first experience, and I should create this program for my project.
can you please send me a code or a link...
thank you.

Code for what? All you have specified is that you want to create an application that does something like Microsoft Word. Have you any idea how many man years of effort would be required to produce anything with even a tenth of its functionality? I suggest you do a Google search for an open source text editor to get some idea of how involved even a simple project is.

Although it is not that hard to do some basic editor, to have something as complete and user friendly as Office, require many man-years of works. You can easily find some editors but it would never compare to Office Word application.

Yes, you can create a simple Windows Forms application that would let you work as a Word editor. Since you're not to use the Office API and you are just going to create a new application that would let you edit the text and other such tasks, you might be interested in RichTextBox object in Windows Form, because it would let you include some formatting to the text like Word too.

If you go to above attached document, you will find some example codes that would get you familiar with this object too.
