mail merge with Oracle forms and Word

I'm attempting to create a mail merge between Word and an Oracle Form.
The form letter will exist in Word, but the data source will be a sql
query from the database. The user will interact with a form to create
a query that will generate records to be automatically merged into the
Word document.

I know I could create a simple file based on the query and have the
user merge that, but that isn't acceptable for this project. This
needs to be completely automated -- the user shouldn't have to do the
mail merge in Word at all.

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
