"Embedding" command line option

[PMVT]

First, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question. If not,
please post a more suitable group.

I was running Process Explorer today and I noticed that there was a hidden
instance of WINWORD.EXE running with "Embedding" command line option, i.e.:
....\WINWORD.EXE" -Embedding

What does this do? It's not in the list of command line switches, AFAIK.

Thanks.

It mentions the switch is used to load the document into an OLE container (such
as on a VB form or a web page). You can't use it from a "normal" command line,
but if such a container requires loading from a command line, that might be
what's meant.
