Paste Word Doc into Access Report

[DanG]

Hello,

I have a letter (which is on our electronic letterhead) from a word document that I want to copy/paste (or other method) into an Access report and then lay my address/variable data fields on top of the letter/access report. All this works just fine as I've done this a few other times in the past, but I always have one problem which is getting our logo to look good (not jagged) this time it is more difficult as our logo is different and shows the imperfections a bit more.

I like the copy/paste method as once you paste into Access you are able to double click the document (object) and edit it right in Access. The letter I am using has our logo setup as a header if it makes a difference.

Is there a way to improve the logo quality? The print is fine, it's just that the logo is pretty rough.

Thank you

Ugh.

Access handles images horribly- I used to do some doctoring to get images to display nicely in reports, but I can't remember what I did that worked for me. I've since decided that it was best to have Access automate Word. For example, I have a report with form fields, which I tell Access to fill in the values from records based on the bookmarks. This way, I have all the formatting power of Word, and the data from Access.

The only reason I prefer to do it this way is it is a self contained solution (using Access only) and I need this because I am sending the database to a print vendor to print the letters.

I m have not done any Word Automation, but if it is anything like working with image files there is a path that must be maintained (absolute path, not relative) that make it very difficult to move the database/files from one location to the other.
