I have a report that looks fine in print preview. But when I send it as an attachment or save as word document it is ok if the whole report is on one page. But if the report is two pages long, it places the broken paragraph at the bottom of the second page and places the (signature text box) above it.
Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks, Dan
 
Outputting reports to Word causes some formatting losses. That may be what happened to you.
You can save reports using the Snapshot viewer and they will retain all formatting exactly as done in Access. However anyone who views them will have to have the (relatively small) Snapshot Viewer plug-in installed. Check the archives for 'snapshot viewer' for more information.

I only had big problems trying to view reports in Word with the Office liason thingy. I tried several things but the reports I use are image intensive, use lines, rectangles and lots of formating which makes them untralatable in Word. I either manually convert queries in Excel files, transform an Access report in PDF with Adobe PDF Writer / Distiller and for a very special case I have written my own report creator in VBA which generates HTML which create a HTML report from stractch using data from tables. This is powerful if done right ( I am using per-pixel positioning ) but it is a big undertaking since you have to do everything yourself.
 
Without intending offense, you may be reinventing the wheel. See if the snapshot viewer will satisfy what you need to do.
 
Is the snapshot viewer included in Access ? Anyway what is done is done, and it currently works great I can send it to anyone who has an internet browser and they can see the report which is great since Im not dealing with tech poeple.
