report contents to word file

[ani77]

Hello,

By referring to this section I found out that I can transfer my Report to Word format using the frx2word application.
But I am not having Word, instead can i use wordpad or free software like OpenOffice/Staroffice ?

Or is there any other alternative ??

Kindly Help.

Thank you
Ani77

Hello,

Thanks a lot ramani!!
I had used this reportform to ascii method.
But some of my cols gets truncated plus i lose some text formatting too.
How can I increase my col widths ??
And no other way to transfer it to a doc file?

Your help shall be highly appreciated.

Hi
Log into UniversalThread.com
Search for a Print2PDF file. This will help to install a free PDF writer which can hold all your formating and export the report form to PDF format. If you are doing it, you can use the above same method of shellExec to open the PDF, just after the Report is redirected.. as above .. and as sson as you finish.. you can even delete it.

Hope this helps ramani
