I need to print to a form that i will e-mail and the recipient needs to be
able to complete certain fields and send it back. Suggestions?
 
Thanks for your quick reply!

I should have pointed out that I'm not a pro user, and I'm not sure how to
manage the code you referenced! I need "Access for Dummies"....I've built
databases, but never manually used code.

I've tried printing to a Word document, but it does not keep all my
formatting in place (such as memo boxes).

?? Any other thoughts/suggestions? In a perfect world, I'd like the end
user to be able to complete their sections of the form, send it back, and
have it populate my table with their responses.....I've thought about a pdf
form as well.

flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)
Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

Why can't you figure out you will be called out every time? Your only hope
must be that somebody posting a question will be both desparate and
oblivious to the many, many warnings about you.
 
Thanks for the reply - I had no intention of paying someone to help me figure
it out, I know how valuable sites like this are and how many people out there
are willing to help out with no charge....

Thanks again!
 
Word has its own formatting options.

Your requirement is actually quite time-consuming although not impossible.
It will take significant coding to read the document back into Access.
Access 2007 has a feature which will read the preformatted contents of an
email back into Access. There are so many pitfalls though that it isn't
perfect. I suggest trying to find some code online to get a start.
