You can use WebBrowser control for the same.

Look here: MSDN Support: How to use the WebBrowser control in Visual Basic to open an Office document[^]

But i want it to be opened in a panel or in rtf control not in new word

the web broswer control uses the microsoft office viewers to load the file. So why not just add the webbrowser control to a panel?

I have done this for previewing many different document types in my current project.
