Reporting Services to MS Word Questions

Hello

I am using SQL RS to export a report to HTML with Office Web Components and then by clicking File->Edit with Microsoft Word, I get the report into Word format.

The report displays fine in the HTML with Office Web Components format, however the content gets condensed to about 3 inches in width and the page margins are off when I get this report into Word.

Is there a way to fix this formatting issues in Word?

Also if anyone has a better idea of how to get data from SQL RS to MS Word, please feel free to comment.
Thanks in advance for the help!We currently do not have a native export into Microsoft Word format. It is high on our list for a post-SQL 2005 release. You might take a look at SoftArtisans, a 3rd party that provides this functionality, http://officewriter.softartisans.com/officewriter-250.aspx.|||Is there any estimated date when a patch or release of SQL RS will be available that exports directly to Word format? This effects our decision and how we will view costs.|||

We have the same dillemma...

We are currently evaluating another reporting tool due to couple of reasons:

1)Mainly because SQL Server RS does not support direct export to MS Word /RTF.

2) No support for export of nested data regions to Excel?

Any idea when these features will be available?

Thanks a lot,

Panna Balaji

We have developed and just released Aspose.Words for Reporting Services that is currently the only solution available for exporting any RDL report to true DOC, RTF and WordML.
