You might use Word and access your data through ODBC. This is NOT the only solution, but it might be the easiest one. You can access Word (at least the latest versions) through the OLE2 package (starting somewhere at Forms 5.0). Or, alternative, incorparate Word documents into your forms and reports (OLE objects).
