OK, I am taking your advice, and I've started doing this. I'm finding that isn't all that bad, and I think it will look alright. The trouble I am now having though, is that I am unable to bring the data into the paragraph. In the code, for the OnLoad event of the form, I am doing this:
 
Dim P1, P2, P3 As String
 
P1 = Witness
P1 = P1 + " - Being duly sworn, says that he/she attended as a witness on behalf of the People "
P1 = P1 + "before the above court, pursuant to a subpoena or at the request of the District "
P1 = P1 + "Attorney and that he traveled from the City/Town/Village of "
P1 = P1 + txtWitCity
P1 = P1 + ", in the State of New York, which said place is "
P1 = P1 + numMileage
P1 = P1 + " miles from the Court House in the City of Lockport."
 
Me.lblParaOne.Caption = P1
 
 
I've tried other things, but what is the code for getting a field (Witness, txtWitCity, numMileage) out of the query? I don't need to do this the "long" way do I?

I would stick with Access reports.  I make all kinds of reports for
government work all using Access.  And if the formatting is tough to copy
you'd be surprised what you can convince people to change to.
I've nearly changed the culture of "claims" in the state of Indiana.  The
old form was ridiculous - and I couldn't match it.  So I convinced one
county to change years ago and now it's on the verge of being the standard.

And if you are placing parts of your data into pre-worded paragraphs (the
paragraph wording is pre-defined other than your data) do all the paragraph
building in code.
