Hi,
Can I save a report in a word - doc format, so I can later print/change
it from within word?
Thanks
JP

Sort of. You can't save it in the .doc format, but you can save it in .rtf
format, which Word can open. Unfortunately, though, you'll lose any lines or
other graphics elements in the report.

You could take a look at what Stephen Lebans has at
http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm, but I don't believe you'll be
able to edit the reports.

Try it, Jean-Paul.

Preview the report, and try clicking the Office Links icon on the toolbar to
publish with Word.
