Default Export Access report as pdf -- save as .rft -- and Word puts some text into the header

Hello,
I have an Access report that I export as a .pdf, open and save as a .rft, and then open that in Word.
My problem is that some of the text in the .rtf file is assigned to the header, rather than appearing in the body.

This round-about method is necessary to solve other problems I had in getting the exported Access report to format correctly (paragraphs inserted at end of report lines, etc.) .
The end goal is a formatted document/newletter to be copied into Publisher.

I am at a loss as to what to do to solve this header problem. But it seems that it occurs in the Access-generated PDF file ...to....rtf ...opened in Word.

Thanks for any help!

I wouldn't be going via PDF unless I wanted to embed the PDF directly into the page layout program. You can export direct to RTF from Access and it is likely to give you a better result than using PDF as an interim format.
