View report in MS Word With Image (1 Viewer)

[sonof27]

Hello all.

I have a report in Access 2010 that my users will sometimes view in MS Word. I have recently had to add an image to the report only to find that the image does not appear in word, I presume because the report is converted to rtf before being opened in word. Does anyone know if there is a way to open it in word 2010 and keep the image on it as well?

Thank-you.

No, I don't think you can. You can use PDF or SNAPSHOT (if you have 2007 or earlier). But not Word. For Word, you would probably have to do some coding with the Common Object Model (COM) and that isn't going to be overly simple, for sure.

PDF or Snapshot is no good as the report is actually a standard letter with a diagram on it. On some occasions the user will need to manipulate the text. Might have to set up a word template with the diagram on it and merge it with the data or give the user the data on a form for them to manipulate before displaying the report for this one. Thanks for the info.
