Calling a Dephi Form from AddIn

I am trying to create an AddIn for Word that will show a Delphi Form. The Form is a Wizard to create documents. I have been able to create the AddIn and Form, and it works correctly. I have been unable to figure out how I can access variables from my AddIn module from the Form. Is this possible? If so how? Thanks.

Sure, it is possible. You can override the constructor Create of your form. As an example see the code below: 

{ TAddInModule }

procedure TAddInModule.adxCommandBar1Controls0Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Form1 := TForm1.Create(Self);
  try
    if Form1.ShowModal = mrOK then
    begin

    end;
  finally
    FreeAndNil(Form1);
  end;
end;

// ...

{ TForm1 }

constructor TForm1.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
  inherited Create(nil);
  if AOwner is TAddInModule then
    FAddInModule := AOwner as TAddInModule
  else
    FAddInModule := nil;
end;
