converting a report in access to a word document

[Guest]

I have set up a very simple database for the creating and storing of Factory
Authorizations for a company I work for. One request i have had from other
employees is to have the ability to save the reports generated as Word
documents and send them in emails. From what i have read, i don't see a
possibility in this. Any suggestions?

I don't think you can turn them directly into Word documents (at least
you can't in Access 2000) but you can easily turn them into Rich Text
Format documents, which Word (and other WP applications) can open.
After you've opened the .rtf file in Word you can then save it as a Word
.doc file.

File-Export and then choose Rich Text Format from the drop-down list.

With your report being previewed, click on the Office Links tool
button. Select Publish it with Word.
It will be saved as a .rtf document. As long as you do not have
graphics, charts, etc., it will be fine.
Then you can email the Word document.
