Import Word doc as template for report

[sktz503]

Hello,
Customer would like a report to look a certain way. She has given me a Word doc to duplicate. Instead of recreating the Word doc in an Access report, is there any way to 'import' the layout of the Word doc?

Did you find a solution to this I have the exact same issue.

Try using a Merge process from Acces to Word.

Here is a link to Albert Kallal's "Super Easy Word Merge" page.

You will need to scroll down to about mid way of the page. I have used this free utility and it is great.

simple answer - no
either super easy word merge -
or retype the doc as a report -if its a shortish report then it won't take long - you can copy and paste text across into text box's then tweak them to suit
