Hi Marco:

Word uses Microsoft Query to get data from Oracle Via ODBC. If you have MS Query working, all you have to do is use Insert/Database/MS Query to get the data.

If MS Query is not set up, you may have to use the ODBC Administrator to set up the data sources.

Good Luck. E-mail me, if you need more help.
