I haven't seen a recent comment on this although I know there was trouble with previous versions of Crystal. I upgraded to Crystal XI, using Oracle 10g. I want to export letters to Word format that allows some editing. My output no longer has the dreaded frames that I saw with Crystal 9 but the editing is limited. Text will overlap text in the paragraph below it. It is the same result when exporting to rtf. Am I missing something or is this a limitation?

One of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports desktop schedulers listed at provides a solution for this. It allows you to populate a Word document (acting as a template) with content from Crystal formulas while preserving the MS Word formatting. Crystal formulas can even populate tables while preserving table formatting. The populated Word document can be saved to a new document (dynamically named based on a report formula) and emailed to a dynamic (based on a Crystal formula) destination.
