Moving data from MS Word to MS Access

[Netooi]

I need some help moving data from MS Word to MS Access...
I have a MS Word document that you can enter data into certain fields in the document and i need to know if there is a way to extract the data from the Word document into an Access database. I'm not sure where to start.
Thanks for any help

I have a very similar problem...you might want to check out my post, "converting file from Access to Word". I hope that you are having better luck with this than me!

yep the way to do it is to turn your word doc into a Rich Text file instead of Doc file.

Then in Access you are able to import a rich text document.

Hope this helps

What if we want to edit our data in the rich text box. I think we cannot make our text bold or italic in the rich text box.

um you are right you will not be able to highligh, Bold etc.. in Rich text mode but what you can do is have two copies one being rich text format and the other being a Doc file. Peole can open the Doc file make the changes and do Save and then do a save as in Rich Text. Two copies but should solve your prob.
