William, Thanks for posting this info. I have a lot less experience with Access than most of the others who use the AccessD forum. In fact, I had never even experimented with exporting from the Database Documenter to Word, until I read your post. This will really work nicely, especially with dual monitors. Thanks again, Brad -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Benson, William (GE Global Research, consultant) Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 9:12 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Access Database Documenter & Word Ctrl-F with browseresults I have recently seen something in Access and Word which I found handy. I have always known about the Database Documenter now under Database Tools; I set it for let's say all tables, and show nothing but field names & properties. Then run and export to Word. Well what I did not know is that there is an easy way to jump between tables once the output is complete. Simply type Ctrl-F and search for "Table:" and then the Navigation pane (for once not a "pain") appears, I clicked the right right-most view which has tooltip "Browse the results..." - and there is an easy way to click each table one after the other, with the names right there. Having this open as an app I can alt-tab to has very much improved my ability to focus on what I am doing in Access because I don't have to leave one object in Access to go inspect another. I know, I know ... just now finding out what everyone else under the sun already knew. I have to run faster and faster just to stay in place. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
