You need to use VBA to open a Word session. Go to Help and search on
Automation. You might akso look at Mail Merge depending on what you want to
do.

Also ask Arno R for help but don't hold your breath!

Thank you Steve. I saved it to a table per your recommendation. However, I
am not able to automate it to output to Word. The only options available
are
Excel, HTML, Text and SPX. Am I missing something?

Why not save the note in an Access table? Then later you can use
automation
to open Word and inject the note so you can do whatever with the note in
Word format.

I've created database application to be used as EMR (Electronic Medical
Records) in Access 2007 (OS- Win XP). The physicians will be using
Tablet
PC
instead of Desktop to enter their visit notes on this EMR. The visit
notes
will be entered using a stylus pen on their PC tablet. What I'd like to
do
is
create "Save" button to save that note outside access for editing. Can
you
tell me how I could do that? someone suggested I use OCR but I am not
sure
which one to use or how to do it? Our preference is to save that note
as
MS
Word document since that would be the format of the final note. Any
help
is
appreciated.
