Data? What data? The text, the table the images, all, any?

During run time? Or while editing? What should it be in LabVIEW? A Word ActiveX container? Or an image? What do you want to do with it?

What do you expect? That LabVIEW uses Word as a template? Or that you can edit the Word "template" in LabVIEW?

That's really a Word document. Guess it's being used as a template somehow?

That depends on what it is you want exactly. Please explain.

Not sure why you'd want to open a Word doc in Labview ?

However if it is simply to display a page or two of information then you could capture the doc pages as jpgs and display those fairly simply within Labview.

So make a screen shot with snipping tool, and paste the image on your FP. it will look exactly the same.

There exits a .NET Rich Text Control

If you spawn one on the Frontpanel, you can copy&paste the word documents content via  strg+a, strg+c and strg+v

I suppose, this can be done programmatically, if the word document was saved as a .rtf

most of the formatting will be preserved:

Hi 

Is there a way not  to clear the RichTextBox  when press on stop button 

since now when I press on stop button  the vi stop and the  RichTextBox cleared 

Thanks

And that's just one reason why the .NET "solution" is usually not really a solution. It's a quick fix, that usually causes more problems that it solves. But feel free to experiment.

As soon as the VI stops, the .net object is disposed. Nothing you can do about that. You can 1) not stop your VI (use it in a larger architecture) or 2) accept that it's disposed.
