Export to Word

[JF Bouthillier]

Hi all,

Is there a way to send a report to MS Word without using
a Word Template and still have wrap text? In other words,
can we keep a specified place for users to input text in
an MS Access report changed to MS Word format?

When I simply convert my report, I lose all formatting.

Thank you.
JF

Hi JF,

Not really. Outputting an Access report to Word produces a
clumsily-formatted RTF document.

One work-round is to incorporate the user input into the report, so it
can all be formatted by Access (either on paper or to a snapshot or PDF
file). Another is to write VBA code that runs in Access and controls
Word to create and format the document exactly as needed.
