In future, Access data should be seamlessly presentable in other Office
products. The Word tool in the reporting function only returns RTF format,
so you lose all formatting. Users should be able to view their data in Word,
Excel, or Powerpoint, but alas, this is not the case. I have spent a week
trying to get financial numbers from Access to appear in a Word report, and
the numbers come up with a dozen decimals and no "$" symbol. This, after
having to leard OBDC coding. Why does it have to be so hard?
