Yes, you can do this -- you will certainly not have the flexilibity you have
with Word, using the built-in Access controls.
Two ways that you can create the text in Access are:
Create it in the Format or Print event of the Detail Section, and put it
in a Text Box (or Text Boxes), or
Use an expression that creates the text as the Control Source of a Text
Box (or Text Boxes).
If you want more formatting flexibilty, you will need to use a Rich Text
Control. See MVP Stephen Lebans' site for a good, free one -- that comes
without any commitment of support (except whatever you can get here in the
newsgroups); there are commercial controls, such as FMS, Inc.'s
(
http://www.fmsinc.com) for which support is available, too.

Hi there,
I'm trying to get Access to create reports which will be sent out as
letters to a mailing list, these letters would be personalised for each
recipient, so that should they have a particular option (tick box)
selected then they get a particular passage of text inserted into the
letter.
Firstly is this possible? I know Word can create letters; however I
don't think that it can place different passages of text in to the
letter, for example it will just tell you that a check box is positive,
I need it to see that the tick box is selected and then picks a passage
of text to insert.
Thanks for any help,
Yours truly,
Village
