How to embed an office document in a Metro App?

Is it possible to embed an office document in a Metro app without having to parse it manually? I'm thinking about a preview or even a the possibility to make small changes to it. I'm not asking about starting it externally but using it directly in a Metro app.

I would just use webview controller and open the document from Skydrive with it.

That way you can open the document as editable or just show it.

You cannot embed directly into a Metro style app. It may be possible to do something with the Skydrive API and embedding documents, but more research would be required. Here is an example on using the Live SDK from a Metro style app.
