I have been asked to use Crystal Reports to create a monthly newsletter including text from a database and several reports. My question is twofold: is there an add-in fro crystal that would assist with this? would this be better accomplished in another reporting tool?

The desired results are as follows:
Two columns on page one:
Column one is article text column two is embedded sub-reports
One column on page two:
Continutation of the text from page one
Two columns page three:
Similar layout to page one.

Hi,
Instead of CR, which is not really well suited to this type of request, try using somethng like MS Word which can include database info along with text in many formats.
I'm sure there are other word-processing or publishing programs out there ( maybe even some open source) that can combine database data and text..
