[AccessD] Report To jpg

The jpg format worked well 5 years ago when I did the manual.  So I didn't
really look any farther.  

Is that the same as Microsoft XPS Document Writer?  Trying it now - creates
a file in .xps format.  But then how to get it into Word?

Hi Rocky et al

You are a little off-track here.

First, JPG is for photos, not graphic arts with fonts.
Second, don't write the reports to the screen, write to an image printer
like:

Microsoft Office Document Image Writer

which will print not near-perfect but perfect images in, say, TIFF format or
another bitmap format.
Use a resolution that will allow you to scale the image of the report to
match the resolution of the pages of your manual.

We did that back in 1994 using a fax printer that saved the reports to
bitmap files suitable for sending by fax.

Dear List:
 
When I last wrote my product manual I had some way of getting the reports
into the manual - captured the pages somehow and pasted them on to the word
doc manual. 
 
But I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.
 
Anyway I need a way to take these reports, and capture them, probably as a
jpg, because I need pretty high res and color, so that I can paste them into
the reports section of my manual.
 
Does anyone have a slick way of doing this?
