which kind of control use Microsoft Office Word to display the indents and tab stop of the current paragraph
and how work it

Hi
The text is in a RichTextBox (or RichEdit) control, and the top is called a ruler (or sometimes a ribbon) and AFAK it's not an external control - it's built into the c++ code of MSOffice.
However i've not found one in vb (you might try www.vbaccelerator.com, and I think codeguru had one
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/controls/article.php/c5303/
)

Hope this helps,
Kieron
