Supposing you are referring to embedding microsoft word into the web
browser control: this is currently not possible with abiword and also
not planned by any of the developers i know.
Many people believe these days that it's preferable* to either present
a document view-only or within its native application rather than
offering a subset of modification possibilities through an embedding
solution.
