Is there a way in word to save a selected portion into the database(Ms Access) as range object.So that we can later retrieve it . It is required to generate a report in word ,the section needs to be repeated many times. I have searched net for quite some time but not much material is found. thanks. eg:In a Resume automation application. A person has many qualifications.If we use conventional mail-merge, we can write only one item per field.But I have a database with foreign key where the qualification is another table with connection to the main table. so i would like to have a section stored with formatting eg:bold,font size etc. and later update it(paste programetically) for all contents.
