Default Using a WORD document as a subreport or report with mail merge

Hello,
I have about 8 WORD documents that are mail merge documents and I am going
to convert the database from Excel to an Access database. Instead of a mail
merge I would like to have the WORD documents selectable by a button or
another means to simply enter data and then select the appropriate report
(WORD Document)? I would like it all to be contained inside the access
dataprogram if possible.

Is this possible and if so can i get some help on how to do it?

Thanks in advance Bob

Give my word merge example a try. It is great for template type word
documents.

I even have some sample data, so you can quickly try this out..and see if it
is worth your time to further use my example.

You can find here.

Albert, That's pretty slick. I've downloaded it and am playing with it now.
I believe it can fit the bill for some of the items I need.

Can I rename the mdb and still have all the functions work.
Thanks so much
