Report Convert to Word Problems

Many posts here indicate there is no fix to the fact that Access can't
convert a report to Word or other correctly. Is there anything being done
about this? Currently when converting a report to Word a lot of text is
dropped and I have to type it back into the Word document to make it correct.
When exporting the Access report as an email attachment there is also a lot
of text dropped. The only solution is a snapshot which does not work when
sending a document out for information to be typed and returned (however in
snapshot the text is all there)/ We installed the latest service packs and
still see no fix. Any information on when this will be fixed? It makes the
Access reports pretty useless. And I see not posts that indicate there are
any workarounds to make it work. A pretty serious flaw in the software.
Thanks.

Well since the probolem has been around since at least Access 95 to my knowledge
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a fix.

If the formatting is not too critical you could just write the text to a file in
code yourself using the file i/o commands.

Automation of Word is also an option, although it will be slower.
