Define "multipage report," please, and perhaps someone can be of assistance.
Access Reports are "banded reports", with a Report Header Section that
occurs once at the Beginning and Report Footer that occurs once at the End,
Page Header and Footer that each occur once per page, Group Header and
Footer (if you so select, in the Report's Sorting and Grouping Properties)
that appear at the Beginning and End of data applying to that Group, and
Detail Section, the "innermost" band, occuring once per Record of the
Report's Record Source. The Report Design may fit on one or two screens, but
yield a report of thousands of pages, depending on the number of records
selected.
You cannot "create a Report in Word and import it into Access". If you are
willing to acquire the necessary advanced skills, you can, using Access' VBA
code, control Word via COM Automation to create the Word document from
within Access. On the other hand, Access has, IMNSHO, the best reporting
system of any user-accessible application, database or otherwise, and it is
well worth the minimal time and effort to learn enough to use it.
I'd suggest you check out the online training at
http://office.microsoft.com
and try some of the brief sessions on various Access subjects, including
Reporting. A good book for new users is "Microsoft Access <version> Step By
Step" published by Microsoft Press.
