I have made a database and am wondering if it is possable to import a word document?
 
What is the purpose? Are you talking about storing the document itself or data that is on the Word document?

It is possible and you would use an OLE Object type. But it isn't wise to do so as it fills up the database quite quickly and you will likely end up at the 2Gb max pretty quickly.

The normal suggested method is to have the document in a location available to those who need it and then store the PATH to the document in the database.
 
Can a Word User Form template be used to update a table in Access?
