The MS-Word Link menu item in the Database menu or the~
~ toolbar button opens a window showing all the MS-Word links that are accessible to
you (see Sections Linking Microsoft Word Documents with Data and Microsoft Word Mail Merge). In this window, you can create
and save new MS-Word links, modify, or delete existing ones.
Initially, the window is empty and you will only be able to create new MS-Word links. Select New and describe your MS-Word link in the following window.

Enter the name of the Microsoft Word document to which data is to be linked. Then specify the link position. The description of the position consists of two captions in your Microsoft Word document. The first caption describes the start of link data, the second the end. If no position is specified for a link or if QueryPlus does not find the specified captions, Microsoft Word asks whether or not the link data is to be inserted at the insertion point (see Section Linking Microsoft Word to ADABAS via QueryPlus).
After describing the position for a link, you can link a saved SQL statement or query to your document. You can also link several SQL statements or queries to an MS-Word document. The linked SQL statements or queries are shown in tabular format with their positions within the document.
You can also insert SQL statements and queries that other users share with you into your MS-Word link.

If you want to view the result of an SQL statement or query, select the corresponding SQL statement or query in the table and Execute. If you want to remove an SQL statement or query as a partial link, select Delete. If you have created all the links desired for the document, you can save the document with Save. QueryPlus uses the name of the link object for saving; in this case, the name of the document. This name can have up to 150 characters.
If there are already saved MS-Word links or if you share MS-Word links with other users (see Section New Sharing of Stored Objects), these links are displayed, ordered by owner. Click on the title bar to order the MS-Word links by name. In the title bar, you can see whether the MS-Word links are ordered by owner or by name; he sort column is not enclosed in brackets.
If other users allow you to share their MS-Word links, you can execute these links. The owner of an MS-Word link to be shared can specify whether the sharing user may only execute the MS-Word link or also read it. If you share an MS-Word link for execution only, then you cannot change it. If you share it for reading, then you can modify and save it as your own MS-Word link.
