Importing a Word Doc as a Report

[Guest]

Can it be done? I've got a Word document that we use as a template for hard
copies of reports. I'd like to use this template as a report in an Access
database we're designing. Is there a quick way to do this or do I have to
manually recreate the look of the word document? Thanks in advance.

I think that you will have to recreate the Word doc as an Access
report. There is certainly no way to just import a Word template into
Access to generate a report ... boy this would be pretty neat! but
tell this to the Access people at Microsoft

Kind regards, although not much help

In report design view, use the Insert > Object command, then From File (not
new) and point to the word doc.
