BIP and APEX question

Question

Gang,
I have just learned that APEX only supports one SQL statement in the report (ver 3.0.x) so I am forced to join my tables in the SQL statement. That produces a lot of repeat in the result set. Can I somehow group this together using the Word Plug-In and get a nice report like this:
<Customer Information>
<All customer Contacts (many per customer)>
<All Customer Notes (many per customer)>
<All Customer Activities (many per customer)>
When I export the report from APEX it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
