| When I convert a Access 97 report to Word 97, some of the

The problem you are encountering is noted in ACC97: Memo Field That Is
Exported to RTF Format May Be Truncated
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;288877
Note in the above article it states "Preventing the problem from occurring
can be labor intensive "
and that's an understatement!!!
Your best bets would be to use Mail Merges instead.
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
