scaling Word OLE object in Access Report

[Jeff Perkins]

I'm new to trying to print OLE objects with MS Access Reports. I have a complex report that, for each header record, must print a highly formatted word doc, then is followed with many subreports generated from my db. The header record word doc is variable in size, ranging from a few paragraphs, to multiple pages.

I can link or embed the appropriate Word Doc to each of my header records as an OLE field on the header record. But when I embed the OLE field on my MS Access Report, The report control does not "scale" to show the Word doc in its original size, length, etc. Instead, the entire doc content "sclaes down" to the fixed control size that I have drawn on my report.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Any thoughts?

I encountered this same frustration on my one attempt several years ago to test embedded Excel and Word documents. I gave up.
