Moving data from Word to Access seamlessly

Question

I am trying to migrate structured documents (i.e. documents that are mostly some metadata and one big table) to a database. When I try to move tabular data from Word to Excel, my main point of pain is handling CRLFs within a cell in Word. Any solution for this? Now, since I will be transferring from Word to Access:

1. What will be the default behaviour when I attempt to populate a field with a string that contains a CRLF?
2. What is the cheapest way to get Access to respect "rich text"? (mostly boldface and overstrike)

Tnx

Answer 1

1. It should just enter the two characters as any other two characters.
2. HTML is a pretty good solution.

For a more detailed answer, we should probably know how you are doing this "migration".
