Creating Word Doc from Access

[access wanna be]

Perhaps this should go in Access forum, but I'll try here first.

I am creating a routine in Access that will create a doc in Word based on
fields in Access queries.

I found how to open word, create the doc, and send text.

How do I do things from the menus (sorry, my reference is from using
SendKeys to do these things (choke, choke))?

Examples:
how do I set tabs,
change font size,
make 2 columns,
Insert <name> from Access table
(I can probably figure that one out, but haven't done it yet.)

Thanks. I've looked all over MS web site and on many others and cannot find
this info.
