use a word file as my form for my database

I'd like to create a database and use an existing word doc as my form.
I can just enter the data and then hit print and it prints out the
form with the customers data on it.

HOW????

Just a side comment: Word itself uses the separate Microsoft Forms when user
entry/editing of data is required. To me, that would indicate that a Word
document isn't really a very good substitute for a Form. I can't take it any
deeper than to say that Word "fields" and/or VBA code may allow you to do
something similar to what you want. Ask in a Word newsgroup to see if anyone
has done what you want.

Hi, I was wondering if expert can give me some lite to convert my word table into access database. Note: within each cell of my word table(s), some has multi-line data in it. In addition, there is one row containing picture(s) as well. So far, what I did is doing it manually for each word docs I have. Select Table Convert Table to Text(I use ^ character for delimiter)

Is it possible to create a Word form as the data entry form for an Access database? I didn't see any reference to this possibility in my Access books, so I'm sorry if this is a question that is rather off-the-wall. I was asked to ask this question, to see if a Word form can be linked to an Access database and then emailed to various end-users for them to complete task requests using this form.

I'm working with a database developed by an untrained person over several years - and on a network that has recently been upgraded with a new server installed and MS office upgraded from 2K (I think - it might have been XP) to 2003. The database is impressive, both in what it does and the obtuse and inconsistent ways it works. There are several hundred queries, for example, with no indication of where they are used or if they are in fact...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
