Retain non-text elements when outputting from Access report to Wor

[kth]

Hi,
I have a report in Access that I am trying to output to Word (either using
an output macro or using the publish button). The basic text gets output
properly but the non-text elements i.e. check boxes (with checks) and the
lines separating each row are missing. Does anyone know how to preserve the
non-text elements when going from Access report to a word doc?

Thanks so much!
katie

The RTF exports cannot handle the graphical elements.

Export to Snapshot can.
In Access 2007, you can also export to PDF.

If you plan to export to Word, the best you can do is design the report to
use underscores as lines, and WingDing characters as check boxes. The last
one is explained here:
