Using Word to Present Access Data

Microsoft Office Access 2007 is the perfect tool for analyzing relational data and for generating good-looking reports on the data. However, when it’s time to present the data in a customizable form, along with other relevant information, Access leaves something to be desired. To improve your presentation, you can send the data to Word, where you can manipulate the presentation so that it looks the way you want.

Publish Your Data

  1. In Access, open the table, query, form, or report that you want to present in Word. If you want to export only selected records, select them.

  2. On the External Data tab, click the Export to RTF File button.

  3. In the Export Wizard, specify where you want the file to be located.

  4. Select this check box if you want the file to open automatically in Word.

  5. If you selected certain records, select this check box if you want to export only those records, or clear the check box to export all the records.

  6. Click OK. In the Save Export Settings page of the Export Wizard, specify whether you want to save the export settings, and then click Close.

  7. In Word, if necessary, open the document and modify it as you want. Choose the Convert command from the Office menu to save the document in the Word 2007 format.

Tip

Any changes you make to the Word document won’t affect the data or the format in the Access database, so you can feel free to delete any rows or columns you don’t want.
