I can put images and tables in but I don't know how to get them to show up in word when I call them. Anyone?

If you must do this...[from Word 2000 help file]

Insert the contents of a Microsoft Access table or query into an existing Word document
In the Word document, click where you want to insert the contents of the table or query.


Display the Database toolbar, and then click Insert Database .


Click Get Data.


If you want to use Microsoft Access and/or Word to retrieve, filter, and sort the data: continue on to step 5.
If you want to use Microsoft Query to retrieve, filter, and sort the data: click MS Query, construct your query, and then skip ahead to step 9. For more information, click .

In the Files of type box, click MS Access Databases.


In the File name box, enter the name of the Microsoft Access database you want, and then click Open.


Click the Tables or Queries tab, click the table or query you want, and then click OK.


To choose a subset of the records or fields or both to include in the Word table, click Query Options, select the options you want, and then click OK.


To customize the Word table formatting, click Table AutoFormat, select the options you want, and then click OK.


Click Insert Data.


Under Insert Records, select the records to include in the Word table.


If you want to be able to update the data in the Word table when the source data changes, select the Insert data as field check box.
Word inserts the data in the Word table as a DATABASE field, which is linked to the source table or query. To update the field, click in the table and press F9.

yeah that really didn't answer the question. I am running Access 2003 and that procedure doesn't work with tables as a data object. Anyone else?
