Dear Majon,
We have developed a nice solution for the integration between Oracle
and Microsoft Word.
You can download our product SQLWord at www.sequel.nl
SQLWord is an advanced Reportwriter integrating Oracle and Microsoft
Word.
You can create your own standardletters, contracts and any other reports
using the data of a Oracle database within a Microstoft Word document.
Sincerely,
Sequel Solutions

We've got the following problem:
we have to generate a large amount of reports on a oracle database.
Partly
they are really complex, so I need the functionality of more than
one repeating frame etc. The only (and very big) problem is, that the customer
wants to edit the report after generating in MS-Word. I tried different
possibilities like generating the report in MS-Access using ODBC, using
VB(A)...but mostly they don't have the needed functionality. Generating
the report using the oracle report builder only leaves the rtf-Format for
dataexchange with word. The problem is, that sometimes Word doesn't open
this format, and every textfield in the report is in a frame in word so
that editing is nearly impossible because every frame must be resized and
moved. Oracle knows about this problem, but they will not work on a solution
during
the next year(s). Microsoft won't be helpful either because they want us
to use SQL-Server or something like that. But there must be someone who
already solved this problem. Perhaps writing an own converter to MS-Word
doc-format or using a third party product. If anyone could help me or knows
someone who perhaps knows something about this problem, please answer.
Thanx
MaJon
