Mark, I'm doing exactly this at my client's site. However, I'm using a
Visual Basic front end, Oracle 8.0 database, and Microsoft ODBC drivers.
I'm saving the document data as LONG_RAW (binary) and letting Word
convert it back when it's reloaded later. If you're using Oracle's
drivers, you'd probably use CLOB. I'd be happy to e-mail you some code.
E-mail me at shmurphy_at_wfubmc.edu tomorrow (9/10/99) if interested
[although not sure of your time zone difference].
