Is it possible to Publish with Microsoft Word a report
that includes a chart? I experimented with a report from
the sample Northwind database (using report Sales by
Category) and only the data exported. Thanks in advance
for any help.
 
Carol:

No, chart objects as well as any other graphic element, will generally not
export properly to a Word document; Access only exports its data. There
are three possible work arounds:

1.) Output the report to a snapshot format specifying "Snapshot Format
(*.snp)" as the format parameter in the OutputTo method or action.

2.) Print the file to a PDF document using any number of PDF printer drivers
from Adobe's to Win2PDF or pdfFactory etc.

3.) Check out Stephen Leban's web site (www.lebans.com) for his Report
Utilities tool which will output a report to a word document with a limited
editability and retension of some of the graphics elements.
 
Steve:

Many thanks for the great suggestions. The Report
Utilities tool from www.lebans.com looks like it will
help tremendously. Appreciate your reply.
