When attaching an Access report to an email in Word format, why do you lose
some of the formatting?
 
None of the graphical elements survive when you export in RTF (Word) or TXT
(text) formats, so you lose the lines, check boxes, pictures, etc.

If the recipient does not need to edit the report, you could use Snapshot
format. The snapshot viewer is a free download for them:

If they do need the report editable, you can fudge lines by using the
underscore character in a label. For a way to get text boxes to print in an
RTF, see:

Hi Allen,
This soumds like a good solution,how would you get the underscore vertical.
I need a box to show up in Word around three description fields. Company
doesn't want to use snapshot or pdf.
