I'm writting an application in VB5  using MS Access. I need to merge data
into Word documents to allow the user to customize the letters that are
generated. The drawback is the process time it takes from when the command
button is pressed to when the letter is previewed/printed is extemely slow.
I'm creating a "Word.basic" object in VB and then using it's methods and
properties . Is there a better and more importantly, a faster way to
accomplish this. Any and all help is appreciated.
