Default Linking Access database to Microsoft Word form

I'm using MS Word 2003 and Windows XP Professional. I'm creating a bid form
and would like to link it to Access for easy entry of names (customers),
phone numbers, etc. I have my Word document saved as a template and have
inserted form fields in the appropriate locations. I don't want to link an
entire Access table. In other words, I just want to be able to click in the
form field and easily choose the customer's name for that particular bid form
and have the phone number associated with that name automatically show up in
the phone number field. The customer list is quite long. Do I need to do
something in Visual Basic?
