f you need to produce documents with more sophisticated formatting

than is available in an Access report, your best option is to create Word

documents and fill them with data from Access. There are many ways to

export data from Access to Word; which one to use depends on the circum-

stances, the type of data to export, and user preferences. This chapter dis-

cusses the various types of Word documents you can create and the methods

you can use to fill them with data, with basic examples.

For more complex and realistic examples of exporting

Access data to Word documents, see Chapters 6 and 12.

The sample database for this chapter is Access to

Word.accdb.

plate) with two lines of code:

Set appWord = GetObject(, “Word.Application”)

Set doc = appWord.Documents.Add
