SET VAR vAddressBlock TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vCustID INTEGER = 100
SELECT (Company+(CHAR(10))+CustAddress+(CHAR(10)) +
+CustCity+','&CustState&CustZip+(CHAR(10))) +
INTO vAddressBlock INDIC IvAddressBlock +
FROM Customer WHERE CustID = .vCustID

Once the MS Word or WordPerfect is launched and the document is opened, you could either use Edit > Paste or Ctrl+V to paste the windows clipboard text!
The resulting pasted block of text would look like:
