I desperately need to merge text data into an application that can apply styles during the merge. I'd use OOo, KOffice or AbiWord, but none of them can import the existing data. The data is in MS Access, although I was able to import it into Kexi, so I could merge from either Kexi or Access.

If you can generate a simple text file, this script can be modified to 
do something along those lines:

Obviously, you're looking for the simplest answer, but hopefully 
something with some flexibility as well.
