Document (saved from Access) not responding to page set-up instr
I just got a new XP computer. I save ad-hoc reports from Access to Word.
The first time I did this with my new computer, the page set-up in Word did not respond correctly. Word inferred the report as landscape and 8 1/2 X 14 with correct margins. However, the text is shown incorrectly and prints incorrectly. Column headings are on 2 lines, instead of 1. Some info is completely missing. I have done everything I know how to make the text in Word convert to look like it should and does in the Access report. Any suggestions will be most helpful. |

Hi ?B?bmVjY3Rr?=,

Word inferred the report as landscape and 8 1/2 X 14 with correct margins. However, the text is shown incorrectly and prints incorrectly. Column headings are on 2 lines, instead of 1. Some info is completely missing. I have done everything I know how to make the text in Word convert to look like it should and does in the Access report. This is a question of how Access exports the information to RTF format. Word simply opens the RTF document Access generates and displays the result. IOW, it's an Access, not a Word problem.

Cindy M - Being an Access problem makes sense except I never had a problem
with my old version of Word. I'm using Access 2000 & Word 2003. My old computer had an earlier version of Word. Is there anything I can do to get the Access info to format correctly into Word? Page set-up is correct in Access & displays correctly in Access. Will an updated version of Access solve this problem? "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?bmVjY3Rr?=, I just got a new XP computer.

Hi ?B?bmVjY3Rr?=,
Being an Access problem makes sense except I never had a problem with my old version of Word. I'm using Access 2000 & Word 2003. My old computer had an earlier version of Word. Is there anything I can do to get the Access info to format correctly into Word? Page set-up is correct in Access & displays correctly in Access. Will an updated version of Access solve this problem? I'd try asking this in an Access newsgroup. The only thing I can suggest, as far as the Word side goes, would be to open such an Access export, then fiddle with the margins in File/Page Setup. It's possible that the default page setup in Word 2003 changed, which would make things break differently. Also, the default table behavior changed in Word 2002, this could also be playing a roll. The missing information almost has to be an Access problem, but as I say, you should try asking Access folks who may use this feature on a regular basis.
