Default Change Export of report from .rtf

I am exporting a report using office links to print in word. In the export process I am losing the boarders around some fields because it is going to an .rtf format. Can you change the default (.rtf) to .doc so it retains boarders and such in the document?

Stuart:

Unfortunately the answer is no, you can't output to a .doc format. Because
of the nature of Access report's graphic elements (they are rendered through
the GDI subsystem) there is no way to export them. There are a couple of
options

1.) Stephen Lebans has created a report utility program that will allow you
to export your report to a .doc format file that contains an emf image of
report, it has limited editability. You can check it out at www.lebans.com

2.) You can output your report to a Snapshot file, which will retain the
graphic elements. However it is uneditable.

3.) You can print your report to a PDF file using any number of PDF printer
drivers. PDF documents will retain the graphics elements and PDF files are
by and large editable.
