how do I include a image when I publish a report in Word

[Guest]

I want to produce a list and include a company logo. The Report looks good,
but when I Publish it with Word, the graphics and formatting (underlining)
aren't included. I'd gratefully accept any suggestions on getting the
graphics into Word.
Curiously, I can convert my Report to a PDF and everything's included.

Alan,
If you're using Word MailMerge based on an Access
query, then I would suggest that you embed the graphics
in the "Mail Merge Document". (Actually, your post didn't
give us much information as to where it came from, but
I assume it was from an image control?)

Let us know.

Thanks Bill,
What I've got is a Report in Access 2003 that's exactly what I want. It
includes a company logo (graphic) as well as formatting. The report is an
Attendance Record - it lists the attendees. Next to each name is a line on
which the attendee signs their name.
I now want to get the Report into Word so I can e-mail it, and my recipient
can modify it like any other Word Document (to accommodate those last minute
changes etc.).
When I view the Report and use the built in button to "Publish In Word" I
get a Word document without the graphics (logo) or formatting. The logo,
lines separating sections of the report and the line for signature are all
formatting which don’t make it into Word.
I really appreciate your help,
Alan

Alan,
I'm not familiar with "Publish In Word". My experience with Word
MailMerge was done primarily from the Word side of the task. I.e.,
I created a Mail Merge document in Word and inserted fields as
defined by a query created in Access 2000. My sense here is that
you are attempting an approach that was born with Access 2003?

If you'd prefer to attack your application from within Word, there's
a very knowledgeable MVP in Switzerland that is very responsive to
posts on the Word newsgroup... Cindy Meister. Also, Doug Robbins
is very good.

Access's "Publish with Word" option is actually a bit of a misnomer.
What this output option actually does is export the Report as a RTF
(Rich _Text_ Format) document, ignoring all graphics and much
formatting. As you have observed, the output is of very timited
usefulness! As Bill has implied, if you want to produce a "pretty"
Word-modifiable document from Access data, you need either to approach
the problem from the other end and do a Word mailmerge or use Word
Automation driven from VBA within Access.
