unless there is a third party product, the answer is no.

with tha said, if you want to continue to use the word file for reports, you can use OLE to manipulate the word document. there are examples here and at other fox sites.

If you are only using the word files as the template to be shown in your vfp report
You can do the trick
1) create one cursor having 1 field of tyep General
2) append general <columnname> <yourworddocument.doc>

In the report form you refer to this <cursorname.columnanme>

However be sure that the client needs word installed since this is ole trick
