[AccessD] Questions on Access 2007 Controlling Word with Windows Automation

First thing I would try is paste the text ino a Word document and then record a Word macro 
to do the formatting.

Then create an Access function which just creates a new document in Word and dumps the 
text into it.

Finally, copy your word macro into your access function and modify it as required.
