Any way to open an encoded text database in Word that won't conve.

[Hummingbird]

I'm trying to retreive a database (MDB file) in Word and have been unable to
convert the file. I have tried all the encoded text file troubleshooting
steps, short of running the Office set-up program again. Any other
suggestions? I need to get a large mailing out...
Note: I am using Office XP Small Business

Why are you trying to open it in Word? What happens if you open it with
Access?
