OutputTo "acFormatRTF" cuts fields off in 2002

[Jon in Canby Or.]

I have a client who wants me to automatically output a report to a Word file
each time a record is saved. To do this I use the following command:

DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, stDocName, acFormatRTF, strFName

The client recently upgraded a machine that uses this db which also included
an upgrade to Office 2002. On only that machine labels and fields on the
report are being cut off, in some cases to dire effect. This happens even in
cases where the text in the label only seems to take up half the space of the
label area. It's also happening in text boxes. Simply making each box larger
is a lousy answer. The shared db continues to work fine on the older machines.

Does anybody have any clues as to what's going on and how I can fix this?

Cheers,
Jon

I've been working with Access and VB for a long time and have yet to solve
this problem. It happens in 2002 and 2003 without any great consistency.
Outputto HML generally works more reliably however multiple page reports
create multiple html files. Have you made ony progress on a resolution?

Well...I convinced them to accept an Access Snapshot report format and
abandoned exporting to Word. They're fine with it but it's frustrating to
have to admit defeat because the tools we use don't work as advertised.
