Reports in MS Word format

[mscertified]

Does MS Access have the ability to create reports in MS Word format, i.e.
..DOC files
Some of my users have asked for this.
Thanks.

You can export a report to RTF which is about the same as DOC.

Thanks for the reply.
I've tried that and it does not work properly. My report footers appear at
the top of the next page the rest of which is then blank. The page numbering
also gets screwed up. So if I print pages 1-6, I only get pages 1-3.
Apart from that, it seems to do ok except the horizontal lines are missing.
I could probably live with that if it was the only problem.

That's about as good as it gets if you want a Word type document. You can
print to PDF or SNAPSHOT if you want to maintain the total look of the report
however these formats are generally editable.

You may need to go back to your report design to set different margins etc
so they are easier for the conversion to RTF.
