I have an image (smiley faces; red, green, blue) that
display the status of activities on a report. We want to
export the access report to MS Word format so we can email
the document.

Problem: the images (which show up on the report in
preview mode) do not export to Word. Is there a solution?
 
I am very interestex in this issue. I am experiencing the
same thing with charts. What is the answer?

Snapshot Format is the only built-in export format that retains graphical elements.
Otherwise you can use third party tools to produce PDF documents and distribute
those.
 
If you do not requrie an editable format then see:
http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm
ReportUtilities a suite of utilities with 5 Features:

1) Export to MS Word. Output exact duplicate of a Report to RTF,
including formatting and all graphics. This file can be loaded into MS
Word for limited further editing or inclusion into a larger document.

2) Export to WordPad. Output duplicate of a Report to RTF, including
formatting and all graphics. This file can be loaded into MS WordPad for
viewing and/or Printing.

3) Save Report to Enhanced Metafile format. One EMF file for every Page
of the Report.

4) Save Report to the older Metafile format. One WMF file for every Page
of the Report. This format may be imported by FrontPage as a Clip and
then saved to the Web page as an WMF not a GIF or JPEG! This means about
10KB to 15KB average per Report Page.

5) Print To Fit functionality. Output multiple Report pages per single
output page. 2up, 3up or 4up etc. Printer selection is independent of
the original Report. For instance you could output a Report of Legal
size pages to standard Letter size. Does not require MS Word.
