Microsoft Office tools like Word should be able to directly access 
Postgres databases via ODBC or OLEDB with the suitable Postgres driver 
(odbc or oledb) installed on the Windows system, and configured to 
access the Postgres database.   I've done this in the past with Excel, 
no reason it wouldn't work in Word.
