[AccessD] FW: Transportable Document Approach needed

...and I sent you one ...edited :)

...the document is composed of a large number of editable image text boxes, 
not one per page ...it is a word document ...it is a copy of the original 
report ...and it is completely editable ...just not as easily as a word 
generated document.
...after playing with it for a bit, I'd say it depends on what Rocky's 
client wants ...it is Word and it is fully editable ...but it would be a 
pita to make wholesale changes using it ...change a few words ...highlight a 
few numbers ...change a graphic ...ok ...much more, probably not.

...but I am attracted to using it in some situations where its limited 
flexibility is all that's required.
