    Export report to Word

    I am sure that it is simple to get a report to automatically open in MS Word.

    I have looked and looked and searched the forum and can't find any info.

    There is no .docx extension option in the macro OutputTo: Output Format.

    So I have been using .rtf.

    This works okay except my computer always asks me which program I want to use to open the file.

    I am sure that any somewhat ignorant end user will be unsure of what to use.

    What shall I use or do?



    I haven't been able to get into code much yet. I prefer to stick with macros if possible.....

    I think you have to use Mail Merge to get Access data in a Word document.
