Importing Word 2000 data into Access 2000

I have an access database which obtains data from a word document. My table consists of a memo field to contain the imported text data.

This word document contains a table and the text in each cell contains bullet points as well as the usual carriage return/line feed.

I create an instance of the word object, open up the requied document and then go and collect the particular bits of the table that I require. When I place it into the memo field it does not appear in the same format.

Does anyone know if there are any controls that are available to cope with this type of text or a way round this problem.
