I want to build a document that is a specification.
There will be sections for introduction, requirements and appendicies.
I want each requirement in the requirements section to come from an Access
database (so it looks as if I had inserted an Access report into the word
document).
I will update / maintain the database and then requery from the word
document to release new versions of the specification. I will also be able
to have different views of the specification in different word documents that
query the same DB.
So in the word document I will have a layout that is repeated for each row
my query returns, with the format and style set in word.
Can this be done? I find that mail merge only offers me mailing type
documents, even the directory type wants a recipient list.
If I use Insert->Field->Database it is close to what I want but this is a
one off insertion (if the database is updated I have to delete / reinsert, I
want to update field to requery) and I cannot change the way that the data
is put in the table (a single table is used with one row for each query row,
I want a table per query row where the data is laid out on more than one
table row.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
