I used to export reports to word using Access 2000 without a problem but
since I moved to Access XP fields are exported with missing text (i.e. the
word 'Example' comes out 'Exam').
Any ideas?
In my opinion you were just getting lucky if you never saw this before. This
problem has existed since Access 95 (at least). If you are doing simple tabular
output you might avoid the problem by making all of the TextBoxes on your report
a bit wider than they need to be in Access. If you have any controls with
CanGrow enabled then all bets are off. You will always have the possibility of
truncated text (sometimes whole paragraphs lost).
The basic problem is that Word uses different spacing than the Access report.
You might guarantee proper results by using Courier or another mono-spaced font.

Hi
No, this is not my problem, I'm using simple text and number controls (with
2 subreports).
The problem is that I must keep the specific design and can't just enlarge
the fields, I would have used merge, but with 2 subreports I don't think
that it'll work well

Hi Rick
I'm aware that the problem exists since earlier, but it just went worse
(BTW, I can't use charts any more as well, as they are cut in the middle as
well, what's wrong with this version?)
Any ideas other then testing different field sizes?

Not really, I just completely avoid the RTF export option for anything
important. I either use Snapshot Format or write my own RTF using the file
i/o functions.
