insert fields from access into a word 2003 table

[lcrogers]

I have a access 2003 database and I want to into into a word 2003 table just
the lastname, firstname, middle inital, and employee number from the employee
database. The database has about 20 fields in it but the above inof in all
that I need. Eveytime that I tell it to insert the database it inserts all
20 fields instead of the 4 that I want. I want to place the firstname, mi
and last name in colum 1 and the employee number in colum 2. Any suggestions
would greatly be appreciated.

It sounds as if you need to use a "Directory" mail merge to insert just the
fields you want. They can be inserted into a table.

In Access, create a query that contains just the information you need. Use
Insert database to bring in this query, instead of a table.
