Display the DATA toolbar. Use the Insert Database button to connect and
select the table (or query). In the very last step you'll see a check box
that will say something like "Insert as field". You need to activate this in
order to get an active link. The result will look like a Word table; behind
it is a DATABASE field.

If you have problems, I will need to know which VERSION of Word you have, in
which application the database is, the exact error message you're getting,
plus any other details.
