Data file in word

[Harvey]

I'm asked to build a datafile in word which will contain over 500 records
and each record contains 5 fields (name,last name, biography,date of hire,
picture of employee) thoese information and pictures are somewhere in our
network .
Any suggestions for a best approach?
Thanks a lot

Create a table - see
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm for the layout.
or
Outlook can easily be adapted to do this - create a contacts lists
specifically for the task.
or
Create a table in Excel
or
Build a data file in Access.
It all rather depends on what you want to do with the data file, who will be
maintaining it etc, but the first approach is the simplest.
