Is there a way to include Memo fields in text data sources?

Thanks for the swift response.

We have written an application that collects data from a sql 2000
database and then writes the data to a text file (relates to a single
letter).
If calls macros in Word and gets Word to do a mail merge for a single
letter at a time.
This works fine and is reliable.

So far all our data items are short data items with no carriage
returns in them.
I'd like to include multi line text if this is possible (typically 4-8
lines of text, 100-400 characters).

Would it would work if we used an Access record instead?
