Merging Query results into Word document

I have Word forms to send tailor for each client I mail to. The forms are
requesting specific information regarding employees. To that end, I am
providing employee specific information (i.e., name, SSN, earnings info,
etc.). I have that information built into an Access table and can
successfully develop the query but have not been able to figure out how to
merge queried employee-specific information into the correct client form.
The provided information is scattered throughout the Word document so it does
not lend itself to inserting a table result. I've tried inserting the
specific field into the Word document but all I get as results is a table
replacing all other data on the page. I was certain that I used to do this
type of thing at a different job but that was long ago and I'm totally lost
after days of trying.

Didn't you already ask this question?
You have two options:
1. Mail Merge
2. using Bookmarks and inserting data into them.

Mail Merge is easier, but Bookmarks allow you more control. Try Albert's
