Output reports to Word

[Mbesa]

I would like to output my MS Access reports to word
without losing the lines, boxes and other graphics. Does
anyone know of a samrt way of doing this?

M:

There is no smart way to do it; it simply can't be done. Access' lines,
boxes etc. are graphics objects which are not exported. Stephen Leban's
has on his web a tool for report where you can output an EMF file placed in
a Word document, but it is not editable. The other alternatives to retain
graphics objects are to output reports in Snapshot format (which requires MS
free snapshot viewer) or as a PDF file.

You might want to try exporting the report as an .rtf file. The formatting gets messed up sometimes, but all in all, it looks ok

That's what M was doing; when outputting to Word, it creates an RTF file,
which unfortunately eliminates all graphic elements from the report on
output.

I can only help with Horizontal lines
Create a text box with the control source set to =string(100,"-"
you will have to adjust the number for font and length. This was the only way I could get my group's separator to display in a rtf output file.
