Alternatives to Export

[capsula4]

Hi!

I would like to know if there is a way to enhance the Access=>Word export, since most of the text tends to overlapp or get displaced. I tried also making a JPG for a header I did using text (which is all messed up in word), but JPG's aren't being shown on the Word file.

Is there any way to export/save it as JPG/BMP/PDF? Since I'm not sure if my clients have "SNAPSHOT VIEWER". Thanks!

Another lil thing: I can't set as default A4 paper size!! I can change it manually every time I make a report but its saved as default "Letter", is this a MS Access error?

As an alternative to export data from access to word, you might try "merge" with word.
Do a search on merge on this forum or check the help file in access.

Thank you rak!!

I actually did some research on merge with word, but find a better solution for my situation which requires installing alternative software.

The tool is free and is called "Cute PDF Writer" and it exports any report as PDF file, and looks exactly the same way as you see it in the snapshot file.

Once installed, print the report and select in printer Cute PDF Writer and will ask you where you wanna save the PDF file.
