Hi,
when exporting (Infoview XI R3.1) my crystal reports SUB report to Word Editable (dont know the precise translation as I'm working with a Dutch system) it sets the page properties to portrait instead of the landscape format I set in Crystal.

Both main report and sub report are landscape in Crystal.
Both use the full landscape width.
Both have the same settings in page setup in Crystal.

The main report exports just fine.
The subreport gets set to portrait in MS Word (2003) whilst the width and height are still landscape.

The main issue is that the printer will print it portrait and thus scale the report to unreadable.

What can I do to fix this?
 
Is it feasible to export to PDF? That tends to keep the original look.

You could ask yourself why people wish to export to word and then alter a report.... dont bother asking and simply accept that they wish to do such things just because and no possible reasoning wil make them change their mind :)

In short, no, PDF isnt feasible :(
