Component to preview doc,xls,pdf,ppt,tif other than AxWebBrowser?

I want to show previews of different file types (essentially word, excel,
powerpoint, PDF, TIF) in my VB 2003.NET application. E.g. like the preview
in the MSWord / FileOpenDialog.

Many posts suggest to use WebBrowser component. However, there are hundreds
of posts mentioning problems, and I'm already experiencing some of them
(e.g. word toolbars popping up, Acrobat reader Toolbars, word application
not being closed, not readonly...)

Any other ideas how to display those file types? Components to buy
somewhere? Maybe two or three different ones for MS files, graphics, PDF?

Thanks
Thomas
