Please Help???!!! Word Documents In Access

I have a database in which each individual record is linked to a Word
document. In the report I would like to see contents of the document along
with its various other fields but I am only getting the FIRST PAGE of the
document.

I am really struglling with this one help would be muchly appreciated!!!!!

A:

Access OLE controls will only show the first page of the document in the
container. There is no work around. A couple possible options:

1.) If you have only a little Access data that goes along with the Word doc,
then create a mail merge template from the Word doc and link to an pull in
the Access data in Word. That way you can format and lay everything out the
way you want it to.

2.) Print your Word docs to a PDF file and either a.) The print the Access
report to a PDF file and merge the two or b.) If you have adobe acrobat and
need to display all this in Access you can create a form, add the Acrobat
Active X control to the form and load the PDF file into the form and you can
navigate all the pages (although it might not print it all).

If option 2.a is what you'd like to accomplish take a look at our PDF and
Mail Library for Access, PDF Pro Plus edition where, if you have a PDF
driver, you can via VBA, automatically output the report, word doc and
combine the whole thing into one document.
