Trouble with publishing Access97 report in MS Word 2003

I have built a databse in Access97 that consists of records containing info from Candidate resumes. Some of the info from each resume record is printed to a 3x5 index card for filing - this used to be done in Word and merged - the next time cards were to be printed you deleted the records from the "main" document to save room and input the new info and print. I used the "Publish" feature from Access based on the table - worked great. Sooo... I set up a control on the "Reports switchboard" that had a hyperlink to link me to the document in Word used to publish the file cards. It took me to the doc ok, but the "Merge" toolbar was greyed out and I could not do what I hoped. It probably won't pick up the new records in the table either. I really don't want to set up this report every time - is there any way around this and am I doing this incorrectly? The resumes received are input to the database and printed each week. Would appreciate any help, Thanks.

Think the other way. Create fields in Word and then link the fields to a query in Access. Use the Open Data Source toolbar item
