Copying and pasting text to a report

[PaulA]

Hi, all--

I want to copy the body of a letter written in Word and past it to a label in an Access report for a mail/merge letter I am creating.

I don't seem to be able to do it!

I would prefer not to have to type in the text.

What's the best way of doing it? When I copy the text from Word I can't past it in a label. If I past it directly to the report Detail section it seems to be a format that does not view.

Any suggestions?

thanks.

Paul

A label will not hold enough - 256 characters is the limit, I believe. You SHOULD be able to do it into a textbox if you size it appropriately.

Thanks--much appreciated.
