Dear List: I have a colleague who has a need to import an Access report into a Word doc and have it be editable. Any ideas?

They will be adding paragraphs, photos, etc. In word 2007 you can embed a PDF and it displays the image. However, it won't do multi-page pdfs.

Is that an option? Else automating the insertion of a snapview into the word doc might be an approach. But simply exporting a report to a word doc - you lose the formatting IIRC.

Perhaps you folks have done this before. The customer needs a word document put together that is comprised of Access Reports for the most part. They will then add new pages with narratives and pictures, and what-not. They will then print this document or just keep it on their laptop. I need to generate this document through an automated fashion. The reports are quite different and won't likely "chain" together via some master report container. Given what's available, any ideas on the mechanism to get the report into a word document?
