Is it possible to consume a webservice from within Word (2000 or XP)
in order to perform a mail merge?

The problem is: we are moving our Access database online, but we
don't want to lose the mail merge functionality.
I guess this is a common scenario, but I couldn't find any references
through Google.

No. Word requires a file stored in a local or network path. No http
paths; no web-services.
