Hi Beth -

I ended up convincing the owners of this report to accept them as pdf
files...As you know, that's clearly the easiest and quickest solution...

I tried the mailmerge, but there's roughly 1000 unique pieces of
data/report...I kept running into size limitations of the mailmerge...

Just for my own knowledge now, what would be the best way to do a mailmerge
such extensive data (500 or 1000 record sets)???I tried Access, but kept
running into limitations....I believe that there's a limit of 255
fields/table and query...

Thanx again for all of your help this past weekend,
marc

Also, Marc, why wouldn't mail merge work for you? Now that I think
about it that would be the fastest solution.

Hi Beth -

Thanx again for the quick reply!!!

I need Word because it's a report that the gov't needs in that
specific
format....I can't send a pdf or any other type of file...My original
Word doc
contains empty tables...I need to 'fill' the data in...
