[AccessD] FW: Transportable Document Approach needed

Hi Rocky,

When you go to Export a report, they can be exported as .htm, .txt, .rtf,
and .xml, among others.  

I tried .rtf and all the labels and text came across formatted correctly,
but not lines or pictures.

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?

It has to be editable.  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.

PDF would be so much simpler.  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.

Ok, I've got an interesting request and I'm not sure how best to approach
this.  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?
