Default Merging text with HTML tags as data source into single word docume

Dear all, I have a .doc document and a data source from an oracle database
which stores HTML data as text. The front end application has no problem
recognizing the HTML tags and would display the HTML texts correctly. But
once I tried to merge this HTML text to the Word document, Word would show
the HTML tags as is. i.e. BRtest/BR instead of a line break before
'test', a &amp instead of &, and a Bbold/B instead of a bolded 'bold'
text.

I wonder if there's a way to make Word interpret the HTML tags automatically
during the mail merge?

Thanks in advance,
Michael
