Generating word documents from Access

[dawnm.jordan]

Hi,

I am working on a database used to store information, and then generate
customized letters. I have most of it working, (Thanks to the posts in
this group =)) I have a button which can be clicked and it opens word
and fills in the blanks of my template appropriately, with the
exception of 2 areas. These areas of the letter need to be pulled from
subforms of the existing form, and in the word document they need to be
a list or possibly a table, and dynamic in nature. Does anyone have
any idea how I can accomplish this? I am a novice at best, so please
speak as plainly as possible =)

I'd like it to dump into word so that it could be edited easily by the
user. But if that just isn't possible I could use the reports function
if I only knew how to add large amounts of static text.

Thanks for the response!

I should mention that this is Office 2003

Any ideas would be appreciated.
