Export text to word document

[Guest]

Is it possible to export a text string to a certain place on a word document?
Looking to develop a DB to cut orders for the Army.

Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee - Yes, it can be done but are you talking about the occasional text
string, or a merge from a group of records.

This will come from a form, it will have rank, social security number, name,
date, etc... How do you specify where the text goes to?

Hi Lee -
Create a table to store only the data items you want in Word, then create a
Form attached to that Table. Create a macro to -
open the new Form in Hidden mode,
use SetValue to copy the fields
close the form
Use the button when you are on a record you want to use in Word.

In Word show the Database Toolbar and the Insert Database tool. Find the DB
and choose the table containing the fields you want to insert. They can go
anywhere in your text. If using the same text over and over, just click on
the Update field and the field will change.

Hope this helps - yours Dika
