Is there a way to make a field to fill out an address field in word and have
it linked to an access database. So that if you start typing it brings up the
address or maybe an drop down list of addresses to pick from?

It's possible but not simple. This article shows some of the basics:

Access a database and insert into a Word document the data that you find
there:
