export access to word with image

[lisa]

I have a report in Access which includes an image. When I export it to WORD
in RTF, the image does not appear. Someone suggested going to Lebans.com
for code I could add, and although I found the site, I am not savvy enough
to figure out how or where or what I need to put in my database to make this
work.

Any help on either getting the image to appear in WORD or implementing the
Lebans code?

I've found that Paperless Printer works pretty well with Access reports which
include images. It claims to do many other things as well, but the results
for most are very poor in my experience. I confine its use to sending Access
reports to word, therefore, It available from:

Another option is to send the report to a PDF file for which many printer
drivers are freely available, such as CutePDF Writer from:

Thanks, that gets me closer. I need it in word so it can be added to or
edited by the user, so the pdf format won't do it. The paperless printer
did a great job except the image, either as a jpg or a bmp, comes out very
poor quality and only shows a corner of the image. (If I expand it, the
quality is really bad)

Any experience improving the image output quality or adjusting the size?

I've not had any problems with images myself. I use an Image control rather
than an OLE object frame. For images bound to individual records only the
path to the image file is stored and the image loaded at runtime using code
in the report's detail section's Print event procedure.
