What would be the most elegant way to this, considering there

Luc,
Here's how I have converted/stored all .doc files into R:BASE.
01. Open the original .doc file(s) in MS Word and then save as
.RTF to preserve the original formatting, etc.
02. Then, load these .rtf file(s) in R:BASE as VARCHAR or BLOB
(VARBIT) data type.
Use the appropriate data type (VARCHAR/VARBIT) accordingly.
03. Once stored in R:BASE, you may take advantage of enhanced
Blob Editor to manage all your documents, etc.
Tip:
When using the enhanced R:BASE BLOB Editor, make sure to
select [Rich Text] option/tab to manage .rtf files.
04. To print these documents in R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 reports,
make sure to use Advanced DB Rich Text Control.
That's all there is to it!
2010 Annual R:BASE Conference Highlights include a session to
demonstrate the use of such features in R:BASE eXtreme 9.0.

Very Best R:egards,
