Use powerpoint slides in access as certificates

[Guest]

This might sound like a stupid thig to do but it would help me no end.

i run courses and have a database that maintains all my information, i would
like access to produce certificates as well to save me time typing them out.
i have a query set up to generate the names and information reqiured for the
certificates.

i would like to modify a report to look like a certificate and populate it
with information from the query. at the moment i use powerpiont to produce
the certificates, is there any way that i could use the powerpoint slides in
access reports or make the report look like a certificate.

i have tried doing a screen dump and then using that picture as a background
in a report but it does not fit on the page.

any help would be appreciated,

thanks

Word has a lot of the drawing tool functionality of Powerpoint - what about
setting it up as a mail merge linked to Access?

Thanks for your reply Sheila, i managed to do it by setting the Image
properties to Zoom, i needed to use powerpoint as it was a custum slide that
i needed the background from.

it works now and looks really good

thanks
