Exporting rich text

[Guest]

I tried the following on the Office 2007 beta (july) this week:

Copied some richtext from a Word document.
Pasted it into an richtext field in an Access 2007 table.
Created a simple report with that field (looks great in Preview mode!)
Exported that Access report to a new Word 2007 document.

The text completely fell apart!
It works much better in a PDF export, but we really need to be able to edit
our reports in Word after we export them! It would be GREAT if we were able
to hold on to the pictures AND the rich text in those rich text
fields/reports.

We're looking at whether we want to upgrade from v2000 and this was the one
feature that would have made it a no-brainer. Can you take a look?

Thanks.

AFAIK, the export to RTF hasn't changed at all in Access 2007 from previous
versions.

Hi Doug,
I'm hoping that you will be able to export to Word via the new Windows Vista
Presentation Foundation specification surrounding the "Metro" document and
print infrastructure.
I read up on this several months ago but they've changed all of the code
names again. From what I remember, there will be a Windows Printer Driver
that you output your document to. Office apps are supposed to be able to
open the output from the driver.
