    Unless you copy (From MS Word) + Paste (Into Excel), no.

    Not true - in Word you can save the document as an HTML document and import this into Access

    Assuming you're using Word 2003. In Mail Merge you can specify an Access database as a data source (it's the icon that says Open Data Source).
