You could maintain a table pointing to different word documents, and store the various documents individually.
You could use the rtf control to edit memo field, and store them directly in the database.
Every option has pros and cons.
Using the RTF control you can store the text in a memo field.The good thing about the RTF control is that it is very 'lightweight' compared to using the full word system. So if you do not need all the abilities of word this could be a viable solution.
On the other hand, these memo fields tend to become huge, because the rtf standard takes up much more space than docs. Also, we try to avoid maintaining large memo fields.
We have developed applications using both options, and also a third alternative where the editing is done in word, and the data is stored in a memo field (not the general field) and automated out.
Anyway - good luck.
