Just realized that you want two word docs in one Access report....the only way I know is that you need to create a master doc from the two docs.

Question
Word doc into access report different sizes
Hi experts
I really need a solution for this. Please look at my bad picture example while i describe the problem.
I have a Access report and in that i would like to add/link to word files so the content is showing in the report. I know that it is only possible to view page one from the doc file.
One of my problems is, that the number of lines in the word documents are changing for month to month, but i can't see how to change the hight of the object according to the content of the word file?
My next problem is that i want document 2 to be showing right after document 1 but if both documents together takes up more space than the report page then some and only some of document 2 should be moved to report page 2.
I there any way these two things can be done?

Hi,
I have search on google and found that what i'm looking for is not possible, but one guy mentioned a possible solution where I use mail merge or something like that, and instead of creating the report in access and import a lot of word files that does not work properly I instead get data from Access into word. But is it possible to add/link a access report into a word doc?
Hi,
Although, I prefer just using the Access Reports module and exporting a report to Word if needed, some developers prefer Word as their report writer, and are able to integrate word into their Access applications by using Word Automation from Access. So the answer is Yes you can, using word automation from MS Acess.The reasons for doing so are as follows:
1. Word has a powerful set of commands for formatting and layout.
2. It is by its very design made for printing all kinds of things.
3. The command set is easy to master.
4. Word lets you create templates that can be stylized and used over and over again.
5. You have many ways to insert the data from Access into Word. For example, you can use:
a) Bookmarks/TypeText
b) MailMerge (and other fields)
c) Document variables
d) OLE links to charts, images or other objects
With automation, Access will be able to run Microsoft Word remotely and with the rich library of commands available in Word, you can do almost anything from Access, including passing data from tables and queries right into Word. For example, you could use the transfer text method to export your query (with your configuration parameters) to word or you could have a form to pass the configuration parameters, and then use word automation to build/modify document templates. See this link :

And In case you are inerested, here are free word template reports that can be downloaded, including a product catalog, generated from a 3rd party Word Report Generator, using vba code. If nothing, since the downloads are free, you will get an idea of what you can do with word and vba.

I don't know about your first item, but I think you can correct the second item by:
1. placing your report in design view
2. clicking on the sorting/grouping tool
3. For each grouping that all the details (if possible) should appear together with the group header in the event of a page break> select "whole group" for the keep together property.
4. for each grouping that only the first detail line needs to appear together with the header in the event of a page break>select "with first detail" for the keep together property.
