I was a little sad when they took out the printing mechanisms for new form
views, but it's obviously pretty easy to add back in. The views are
different, but you usually have to do some finessing of the output with any
kind of view.

What does "attach the dialog to the Document" mean?

If you have added a dialog template in the resource editor, then you
must associate a CDialog-derived class with it. This class can be
instanciated and displayed anywhere in your code (provided you #include
the dialog header).

Go into the resource editor. Create a dialog. Add a class to represent the dialog, for
example, CMyDialog. To call the dialog,
        CMyDialog dlg;
        dlg.DoModal();
There is no concept of "attaching" a dialog to anything, let alone a document.

CFormView is a view that displays a dialog template. In a new doc/view
project you simply change the view base class to CFormView in the final step
of the File/New wizard.

If you don't like CFormView maybe you can do this:

class CMyView : CView
{
private:
    CMyDialog m_Dlg;
};

void CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
    CView::OnInitialUpdate();
    m_Dlg.Create(CMyDialog::IDD,this);
}

BOOL CMyView::OnEraseBkgnd(...)
{
    return TRUE;
}

void CMyView::OnSize(....)
{
    if (m_Dlg.GetSafeHWnd() != NULL)
    {
        m_Dlg.SetWindowPos(NULL,0,0,CX,CY,SWP_NOZORDER);
    }
}

I am sure you can. But I am not sure what you mean by attach. You can
display a dialog from any function in any class. What more do you want?

That's a completely different question. In that case, the question is "how can I make a
dialog be a view", which means you can use a CFormView-derived class. The simplest way to
do this is to create a new project, and when you get to the end, select the view type to
be CFormView. This will give you a blank dialog all set up to be a CFormView. It is a
bit harder to add it retroactively to an existing project, but the simplest way to do this
is to create a new, dummy project with a CFormView, and replace stuff in the original
project with the new stuff and do a bit of hand-editing. If you want multiple views, one
of which is a CFormView-derived class, then you would simply create a CFormView class, and
use the documented techniques for adding another view to a document.

I think CFormView is one of the best things in MFC. It makes any form based
application look like a typical SDI or MDI application and gives it a lot of
features you wouldn't get in a normal dialog app (menu, toolbar,
document/view, etc.) I can't figure why people wouldn't want to use it over
a dialog, but at least, as you pointed out, it's possible :o)

CFormView is a very, very, very nice feature. I've used them for years. Its major
problem is that it is poorly documented and not obvious as a good solution.

I think you are confused. A CFormView is, guess what, a dialog attached to a view!
