Access Reports to Word Documents?

I have some critical sub-report features that look fine in my Access Report but in the RTF output are out of position.

Any suggestions for enhancing conversion of Access Reports to Word Documents? I know this was an issue years ago when I did a lot of development in Access. Hopefully something has come around since 1999-2000.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The problem lies with the fact that rtf files only support limited formatting.

If you don't need the report to be editable you can use the snapshot format. However, if you need more formatting in a work document you will have to look at some kind of mail merge or using VBA to output the data to a word document.
