[AccessD] Weird problem - ugly logo in reports

I was headed this way...linking to a .dot, or actually I wanted to merge the data into it. But, while trying to "learn" this, for my last project, I was advised to stick w/the Access reports. And, more recently, input I got seemed to point towards future problems w/we change versions...I work in an environment where versions to very sometimes. I don't want to get frantic call someday, w/one of the users changes over to a new version of MS Word and this no longer works...and they've got a customer waiting for the printout.
 
But, this does seem like maybe the easiest way. I already have it piped out to a .doc...it came that way and I just had to fix it...and they just amend four field on the certificate. Changing this to a .dot would probably be easy as changing the link and using the existing document to create a .dot.
 
This doesn't push out the data though, correct? This would be a blank certificate that they need to fill in?

Hi John,

Since I can remember, Access has always converted all images to bitmap 
first,
thereby bloating your database. I doubt this has changed in 2007.

After that,  Access places the bitmap into your report at the width and 
height you specify,
often removing scanlines and pixelating in the process of making it fit.

Long ago, we decided to export to either bookmarked dot or rtf templates
and they come out spectacularly.
