Word document printed on MS Access report using OLE object

Question

Hi,

For years, we have been printing Word 2003 documents that have been saved to a OLE object column using an access report. We are using Access 2003.

For some reason when we copy a Word 2003 document and paste it into the OLE object it does not print correctly there are subtle differences with the letter spacing.

However if we use an OLE object that was copied and pasted several months ago then this prints fine.

All I can think of is it's an Office 2003 update that has caused this.

Has anybody else found this problem and any workaround solution?

Many thanks

I have created a machine without any Office Service packs on and this has got around the problem.

I am not sure if this is relevant to you, but it may be worth a try: Description of the Access 2003 post-Service Pack 3 hotfix package: December 18, 2007
