Default fields queries and utter disaster

Hi

On Windows Word97 I can query and get results frpm mysql by using the
DSN name for my connection \c DSN=connectionname and then issuing a
query \s my query.

The only problem is returning more than one field its inserted into a
tabel and I have not been able to set a format for that table so it
spreads out on the whole page which is not what I want.

On office 2004 I can do the same by using \d and putting in the path
for my xls file .. allthough it took me a while to figure out the
format for the path.

The query on mac must contain the path

i.e \s "SELECT something FROM Macintosh HD:Users:folder:file.xls"

This also results in a table ... but how to set a format?
