I have searched the net high and low and have failed to find
solution.

I have a database that contains memo fields populated with standar
"answers" to common questions. We receive frequent Word document
containing these common questions. I need to paste my answers into thi
Word document and then save the finished product to return to th
sender.

I have been able to open Word inside a form (as an unbound OLE, as
Word object, even using the Microsoft Web object). The issue is how t
save the finished product as a Word file. I do not want to open
separate instance of Word and have to toggle back and forth.

Each incoming Word file is different, so I cannot create a template o
do a simple merge and save (or use any of the canned merge mdb's ou
there). I need to be able to open the Word doc, browse my table for th
correct answer, paste that answer into a random place in the Word doc
and then move on to the next question in the Word doc. Then, whe
finished with all of the questions, save the doc back out to Word.

I do not know if this can even be done, but I bet someone can put me o
the right path
 
Check http://www.fmsinc.com/ They may have a solution and they have
information which may give a clue as to how difficult it might be.

Since you will be doing a cut and paste under any circumstance, you might
just consider a larger monitor or two, so you can have the word doc open
and paste the answers into that.
