I need to diplay an entire Microsoft Word document in a form, and let
the user be able to scroll to its pages.

If the word document is a linked OLE object I get only a picture of
the first rows and I'm not able to scroll.

I need something like Rich Text Box, even simpler only displaying.
The problem with Rich Text Box is that doesn't keep all the word
formatting.

Thanks, Lauro

Thanks for your suggestions.
It's exactly what I was looking for.

But I think I'm going back to OLE Linking. The DsoFramer has a strange
behavior on an Access form: there is always an annoying space on top
if I take off the menubar or toolbar and is very slow in updating (I
was using the Current Event to take the FullName of the word document
and open it in dsoFramer). Beside I should disable all the interaction
with Word becase I don't want the user mess with the document.

Actually what I was trying to do is a form with a multipage control:
on the first page some text/number fields; on the second page a field
with a Word Document.
I thought was nice to allow the user to be able to scroll the entire
document if needed. But maybe if he wants to read it he can open Word.

thanks, Lauro
 
If these WOrd documents never change then you might consider using the
Microsoft Office Documnet Imaging control. You would have to print all
of your Word docs to the MODI printer driver. The reason I suggest this
is that the MODI ActiveX control works very well on Access Forms and the
viewing of docs is very fast.

Normally the user browse to the records with data and document, read
the document, and if he wants to change it he can click on a button
and launch Word.

thanks, again, Lauro
 
Hey,
I'm trying to do the same thing and have the same difficulty: can view only
first page. I was wondering if it is possible to use the Source Item property
to change which page is displayed like you can do for Excel to choose which
cols as displayed. I can't find any documentation however for this and am not
sure what param to use to select a page or even if this is possible.
If anybody knows anything please let us know, you might solve both of our
problems.
Thanks.
