Word Document templates, import into Access?

[Susan]

I'm trying to develop an "automated" process to print out forms based on a
select query from Access. However, the forms change in style from time to
time, and the person that provides it to me, does it in Word .doc. Is there
a way to import a template from Word, into Access Reports?

Thanks in advance for advice and suggestions.

No.

If you just want to print out a Word document, you can likely do that
relatively simply via COM Automation. A word template would be of no
particular use, printed, as it would only work online.

Susan what I normally do is generate all my reports in access, why, access is a good report writer. Has a rule I never use forms for reports. I will build the report the way I want it to look. Then export the report (*.rtf) format. I make all my adjustments in access report(s) to see the final product on word document side. I don't think the form changes are necessary, but create a report that can be exported will give the reports consistency and some creditability. Another reason was that everyone did not have Access Snapshot Viewer, so it was great work around.
