Export changes report property

[Oracle9Guy]

I have a report that's designed to print in portrait orientation, which it does if I print the report directly from Crystal. However, if I export the report to Word For Windows format and then open the document in MS-Word it comes up as landscape. Arghhhh!!!!!

Anyone know how to stop this annoying behaviour and retain the original report properties when using export? The same thing happens when exporting to RTF format.

For better results, please post the type and version of the software you're using.

Do you have a printer installed? Crystal is printer based, so if there isn't a printer installed, it will cause this sort of nuisance.

You might also try applying the service pack:

I using Crystal Reports 9 Developer on Win2K. And, yes, I do have a printer installed. This is where I printed the report; initially directly from CR and later from MS-Word via an exported document.

Sorry, I don't have CR 9 to test with.

Did you try applying the service pack?

There's little control over Word or RTF exports, and it works fine for me using CR 8.5
