Hi,

Is it possible to export msword text to msaccess, grouping on a word
'title', 'subtitle' and 'actual text'. If so, are there any documents
available on the net concerning this issue?

Thx

Well, it's certainly possible, but it's not something Word "knows" how
to do. you need to use VBA (probably in Word, with an ADO or DAO
connection).

I don't know what you mean by "grouping", but if the text is formatted
with styles of these names, then the basic steps would be
- use Word's "Find" functionality to get the text
- send it over the connection to the database

You might try the mvps.org/word site for some basic information on
these two things to get you started.
