I've created database application to be used as EMR (Electronic Medical
Records) in Access 2007 (OS- Win XP). The physicians will be using Tablet PC
instead of Desktop to enter their visit notes on this EMR. The visit notes
will be entered using a stylus pen on their PC tablet. What I'd like to do is
create "Save" button to save that note outside access for editing. Can you
tell me how I could do that? someone suggested I use OCR but I am not sure
which one to use or how to do it? Our preference is to save that note as MS
Word document since that would be the format of the final note. Any help is
appreciated.
 
Why not save the note in an Access table? Then later you can use automation
to open Word and inject the note so you can do whatever with the note in
Word format.

Thank you Steve. I saved it to a table per your recommendation. However, I
am not able to automate it to output to Word. The only options available are
Excel, HTML, Text and SPX. Am I missing something?
 
You need to use VBA to open a Word session. Go to Help and search on
Automation. You might akso look at Mail Merge depending on what you want to
do.

Also ask Arno R for help but don't hold your breath!
