Paul,

Create a Word document and instead of typing the text that can change,
insert a bookmark using names that are meaningful to you.  Save the
document.

Create a form with 3 text boxes and a command button.  The user will enter
values into each textbox to be inserted into the Word document.  Insert this
code for the Click event of the button (insert your own error handling).

    Dim appWord As Word.Application
    Dim docWord As Word.Document
    Dim strFile as String

    strFile = "insert the complete path to the Word document"

    Set appWord = New Word.Application
    Set docWord = appWord.Documents.Add(strFile)

    docWord.Bookmarks("the name of the first bookmark").Range.Text =
Me!txtField1
    docWord.Bookmarks("the name of the second bookmark").Range.Text =
Me!txtField2
    docWord.Bookmarks("the name of the third bookmark").Range.Text =
Me!txtField3

    appWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut
    appWord.ActiveDocument.Close

    Set appWord = Nothing
    Set appWord = Nothing
    strFile = ""

|Can an Access form be coded to print a single Word document in which the
|text is almost always the same, but for about three fields, please?
|
|For example, a command button to produce (for the employee whose form it
is)
|birthday cheers, or a wedding congratulations, or to be fired.
|
|Cheers
