Exporting a report to Word

[Tony Williams]

When you export from Access to Word the file the export creates is a rtf
file, loosing all the lines that appear in the Access report. Does anyone
know of a way to construct a Word document that calls the report controls
into specific areas of a Word page so that I could set up a Word template and
import the data into it?
Thanks
Tony

Tony,

About halfway down the page is a Super Easy Word Merge. This sounds like
exactly what you need...

Thanks Gina but the link seems to show details of adding fields from a
database to Word whereas I want to add controls from a report, many of which
are calculated using complex queries. It's a shame that Microsoft haven't
figured a wat to let us export a report to Word with all the lines and
graphics instead of a simple rtf file.

Tony,

Yes it is a shame but that's not likely to change. What about sending to a
PDF document? http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm

The end user wants to add comments and images to the report each month and
does that in a WQord document and then produces a pdf. So they take the
Access report and RETYPE it. Sounds like a lot of rework to me so I was
looking for a quick export solution.
Thanks anyway
