Hello got a question for you all,

I am using access to create a content management solution.

initially it seems pretty easy

i would create a table for each type of document template. and the
fields in the table would be the different sections within the
template. the data in the fields would be the content this goes with
those specific sections in the document.

basically i would have a report that puts all the fields together in
the correct order and export that to a word document.

here is my problem.. some of my data includes bullet points Bold
letter and different colors.. is there anyway i can include bullet
points and text formating into a data cell within access?

if anyone knows of a better way for me to do this please let me know.

Thanks,

I haven't looked at it in any detail, but I know Arvin Meyer has a Document
Management System demo at http://www.datastrat.com/DataStrat2.html. You
might want to see whether it's applicable.

Thanks for the link,

This tool just stores the file name and location of the document.. I
am trying to create a content management system that actually allows
you to edit data within specific sections of a word doc.

How about storing document fragments, complete with formatting, as OLE
objects in the database. Then you could assemble them into docs with
automation from Access to Word.
