1. I am using Oracle Forms [64 Bit] Version 12.2.1.2.0 (Production).
2. I had a form which contains one text field which capture text and number data and that data is stored in database.
3. I want to add a button which give me the functionality that my text field data should go to Microsoft word document with out using java beans.
4. I want to open/retrieve my stored data in Microsoft Word Document with complete formatting(Bold, Italic, Underline, Paragraph) from FORM and
vice versa, without using java beans.
5. I want to edit my data in Microsoft Word Document and want to save in DB with complete formatting(Bold, Italic, Underline, Paragraph) , on
closing that word document.

What are the steps to develop such type of forms.

First thing - you can't store formatting data in a varchar column. That's binary metadata held in the doc file.
You'll probably need to actually store the doc file itself in the DB as either a BLOB or a BFILE.

I had done this thrugh using the java beans and stored the data in varchar2 formate. the stored data looks like
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<table width="20%" border="2" height="1">
<tr>
<td>
<p>
122
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
2
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>
3
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

you can see the data in attached /forum/fa/13439/0/

The Image shows the stored data. i put the text in a field using Forms and after saving the data the data is stored in database in the form of varchar2 (as showed in the image).

these data is captured by using the java beans.
I don't want to use java beans for this purpose.
i want it to be direct capturing data by using Microsoft tools as there is no need of java beans to incorporate the Microsoft tools in oracle forms 12c.
I want to add a button which give me the functionality that my text field data should go to Microsoft word document with out using java beans.

Well I personally don't know how to call word from forms, though I'm sure there are examples at the other end of a google search.

What I do know is that standard forms text items will not show data with the formatting you apply in word. So if that's your requirement the requirement is going to have to change.

If you rely that much on Microsoft, why don't you switch to it completely? It offers development tools, its own database (MS SQL Server) so maybe you could do what you want to do much easier than in Oracle world.
