How to keep access report format in word

[Guest]

I export access report to word format. But it can not keep complete access
report format.

Yes, that's a limitation of Access. It only creates Rich Text Format, not
Word documents, and RTF doesn't handle images correctly.

If you don't need to edit the resultant Word documents, check what Stephen
Lebans has at http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm, or consider
exporting the PDF (and seeing Stephen's free PDF generator at
http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm)

It would be more accurate to say Access' export-to-RTF feature doesn't handle
images. The RTF file format itself can easily accomodate all of the stuff that
is lost during the "Publish with Word" process.

You're right, Rick. I missed out a word there: I meant to say "... and the
RTF doesn't ..."

hey has this been fixed in Access 2007?

I'm thinking that I heard that this feature was removed from 2007..
right?
I just wonder when SQL Server Reporting Services is going to support
Word format.. it kinda drives me crazy
