Expandable table in Word, need to setup "dynamic" <<next post if>>

[Mikael Lindqvist]

Hi,

First, the terminology may be wrong, I'm using Word 2007 swedish version so
I'm a bit unsure of the english terms.

WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE
I have a pre formated table in Word that I want to fill with information
from a list in Access, first row in Word has a <<field1>>, <<field2>>,... etc
and second row <<next post>><<field1>>, <<next post>><<field2>>, ... etc.

No problem so far..

BUT... I only want to display records from a certain category in Access
(e.g. "all invoices" if customer category = "valuableCust") - and I intend to
set up a table in Word that I fill with information for each "customer
category" - and so I don't know how many rows I need for each table in Word.

QUESTION: Is it possible to have a "dynamic" size of the table in Word so
that instead of "over using" the <<next post>> I could somehow get the table
in Word to expand as long as the category match my criteria?

(This is a piece of cake in Access reports, but I need to have the data
exported to Word).

Kindly,
Mikael
Sweden

But, I would use the Access reports piece of cake method.
