Insert Word doc into Report

V

vtj

I am using Office 2007. I want to have a Word document print in (as part of)
a report that exists in Access. If I use an image file, created by pasting
the contents of the Word document in Paint and then saving as a bitmap file,
the size of the type is changed. Is there a simple way to have the contents
of the Word file print just like it would in Word in some kind of control in
the Access report? All that I can get with the attachment is an icon that
shows it is a Word file. Or is there some method of determining what size to
make the type in Word that will correspond to the size in the rest of the
Access report? It would seem like this should be very easy and maybe I
should be using VBA, but I just can't seem to get started in the right
direction. What I'm thinking is that there is probably a way to insert the
Word document into the report in a manner similar to inserting an Excel sheet
into a Word document. Thanks for any help.

It is possible to insert a word doc into an Access report. I am just not at
a place where I can try it to tell you the exact steps.

Have you tried pasting the word doc directly into the report. You may also
try dragging the word doc from Windows explorer and dropping onto the report.
