How do I import a word data form into a works data base?

I have data in a Word data form (Word in WorksSuite 2000) and want to convert
it to a Works Database. There has to be way to do this.

Mmmm. Been a long time since I've seen a Works database, but...

Insert each merge field, in sequence, into a Word document with nothing else in
it. Between each merge field, press the TAB key; at the end of the line press
ENTER. Set the mail merge TYPE to "Catalog". Execute the merge to a new
document.

You should end up with something like this
Jon[TAB]Doe[Tab]New York
Jane[TAB[Brown]Boston

Save this document as "plain text". You should be able to import it into the
Works database as the type "delimited text file".
