Why would you want to?

As long as you have the other fields stored in your table, any time
you need to get "Document #1" just use the same expression as above.

The don't print from the table. Put the expression in a query based on your
table and print from the query.

Make sure that the [doc name] , [#], and [exp] fields are included in
the report's record source.

Add an UNBOUND control to your report.
Set the control's Control Source to:
=[doc name] & " # " & [#] & " exp " & [exp]

Notice that I have used the & to concatenate the data not the +.
