linking word documents to access database

I'm creating a database which will keep track of several resumes, received on
a daily basis (normally a Word document).
1) What is the easiest way to link those Word documents within the database?
Do I have to copy it everytime to some folder and keep a record of its
name/location or I can automate it (like having a button in Word to link to
the candidate register or vice-versa)?
2) How can I search for those files later on, specially TEXTS WITHIN those
word documents?
Regards.
Alex
