Publishing Reports in Word


Publishing Reports in Word

One of the great advantages about working with a system of programs such as the Microsoft Office System, is that you can share the talents of the different programs, no matter what kind of data you are working with. After you create a report in Access, you can use the OfficeLinks command to send it to Word, where you can fix it up with your favorite formats and frills. To publish a report in Word, follow these steps:

  1. Click Reports, and select the report you want in the right panel.

  2. Click Preview. The report appears in Print Preview.

  3. Click the OfficeLinks down arrow on the toolbar; then select Publish It With Microsoft Word. A message box appears, telling you that the report is being printed to Word. The document is saved in a file with the same name as your Access report, but it is given the .rtf (rich text format) extension. The report appears in the Word window. You can now change the report in any way you choose, formatting or enhancing the report as a Word document.

    Note  

    When you publish Access data in Word, the data does not remain linked to its original source in your Access database. This means that if you change the data in Access, the report published in Word will not reflect those changes. To make sure you have the most accurate, up-to-date information in your Access reports published in Word, be sure to use Publish It With Microsoft Word in OfficeLinks regularly.
