Access to Word Formatting

[Guest]

Hello, I am publishing an Access report to MS Word. I have conditional
formatting set in Access for certain data to be bold, but when published in
Word the formatting is not visible. How do I get the Bold to transfer to
Word? Thanks.

You are not the only one who would be very happy if Access reports were
perfectly exportable to Word. They're just not. It's actually dumping it out
in Rich Text Format, which I don't believe has color. Instead, send the
Snapshot viewer to your recipients, and send them SNP files (reports
directly from Access).

Just to provide a little additional insight, the Conditional Formatting
attributes in Access are applied as a Property of the Control in which the
text is displayed in a Form or Report, _not_ an attribute of the text,
itself. The Conditional Formatting applied to the Text Box control simply
acts as a 'mask' if the condition is met. That's why it doesn't carry over,
whereas content from controls that are 'pemanently' formatted with the same
attributes is output that way to the Word RTF.
