Post subject: How do I insert best quality Access report into Publisher? Archived from groups: microsoft>public>publisher (more info?)
I am creating a booklet in Publisher 2003. I have many Access reports that I
want to include as part of the Publisher booklet. I have tried creating a PDF
and selecting and some other methods but the quality is not nearly as good
when copied and pasted into Publisher. Any ideas on how to take an Access
report and copy/paste or insert into Publisher where there is very high
quality?
Thanks

Right-click the report in Access, export, save as .rtf or .txt.
In Publisher, create a text box, right-click, click change text, click text
file, browse to the report.

Mary,
Thank you. I did exactly as you said it it worked, the print is now much
better. The only problem is the data overflows the text box. I can place in a
table and manipulate, but I would like to not have to do that. Any ideas on
how I can get the Access report to fit format almost exactly like it is in
Access? I know a picture will do the job, but the quality is not there. Your
solution is perfect to get the printing crisp, any ideas to make the job less
cumbersome when inserting the report?
Many thanks for your help,
Mike

Mary, I have 9 columns in the access database that may present a problem.
Thanks,

There are tricks you can use to span two pages with your table in a booklet
format.
You also can create another text box and link them so the text flows. You also
can use the *continued on page....*(format text box, text box tab).

Thanks. I guess I am just lazy. I wish that when you create a PDF and then
simply copy and past that it would print crisply. This way I have the exact
document formatted already. I easily copy and paste a picture but the
crsipness is just not there. The other methods will require formatiing in
Publisher to make it look right. Many thanks for your help.

If your final product is going to be a .pdf file, why not insert the .pdf
version of the Access report in the .pdf version of the Publisher document?

That is a very good idea. I was planning to print the report from Publisher
but I could just create a PDF of the Publisher report and then creat numerous
PDF files from Access reports. If I insert one of these Access PDFs as a PDF
in the primary PDF will I be able to have the proper page numbers noted so
the report is seamless?
Many thanks for your help!
