Gavin Howlett-Foster asked on 06 Dec 2007, 03:25 PM

I know Telerik plan to have an export to Word option in the future and it's not in Q3 2007 but I have a project coming up that requires this functionality and would like to consider it for possible use.

Something like Crystal Reports has an export to Word capability but the resulting document is formatted using frames and is very difficult to edit. There is a product built onto SQL Reporting Services (OfficeWriter by SoftArtisans) that creates a 'proper' Word document that you can edit as if you had created it in Word yourself.

What I'm interested in finding out is whether the plans for export to Word in Telerik Reporting would produce a document fomatted using frames or one that would be a 'proper' Word document?

Are your plans this far advanced to be able to provide an answer?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Gavin Howlett-Foster,

With the upcoming release we will add the Excel to the list of available report export formats. You can export a report in Excel 97-2003 compatible format without the need of Microsoft Office package.

Although, we have plans to provide export to Word in the future it would be very interesting to hear your opinion whether you can use Excel instead of Word and if not - why. We highly appreciate our clients' feedback and it definitely weights when we are planing the next versions.

There are many reasons why we choose the Excel instead of Word. An important one is that Excel is data oriented and you can play with the report data using its powerful functions.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Hello Tom,

We do not have plans for export to .doc format in our current plans and also can you clarify which kind you are referring to - the binary (aka MS Word 97), the XML (MS Word 2003) or the latest Office Open XML (MS Word 2007)? The last one has already been covered since Q3 2009 with the introduction of native Silverlight viewer i.e. export to XPS.
Anyway we believe the RTF format offers everything we need to display a report, can be edited in all MS Word versions and in contrast to the binary MS Word formats it is open (there is a publicly available specification). We will appreciate if you share with us why do you prefer the DOC format over the RTF (since both can be edited with MS Word; moreover the RTF is supported by a number of non-Windows applications).
If you find only the editing of the document as being the hard part, then you can force the RTF to use Tables instead of frames. Please use the code snippet below in your application config file - note that it has a RenderingMode attribute specified in it which forces the RTF rendering extension to use Tables.

<configuration>

<configSections>

<section name="Telerik.Reporting" type=

"Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting, Version=3.2.9.1211, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"

allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />

</configSections>

<Telerik.Reporting>

<Extensions>

<Render>

<Extension name="RTF">

<Parameters>

<Parameter name="RenderingMode" value="Tables" />

</Parameters>

</Extension>

</Render>

</Extensions>

</Telerik.Reporting>

</configuration>

Kind regards,

Frames are unmanageable in a Word document. I believe formatting them as tables will work. However, I tried adding to web.config (see below), but I receive the following error when i try to view the report. I'm sure I'm missing something in the web.config file. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Tom,

You're clearly using version Q1 2009 and there is still a Telerik.Reporting.Processing assembly in it (in Q2 we have merged the processing assembly in Telerik.Reporting. So you should either upgrade to the latest version and the code I provided would work properly for you, or you should change the Telerik Reporting configuration section like so:

<section name="Telerik.Reporting" type=

"Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting.Processing, Version=3.0.9.430, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"

allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />

Kind regards,

Hi Mikolaj,

This behavior is by design and is required in order to preserve the layout of the report. If we create the docx file with editing in mind, then the layout of the report would not be preserved and we aim for WYSIWYG.

We understand your concern of having a fully editable file for your users, but due to the fore-mentioned requirement, this is not applicable with the current implementation.
Rest assured however, that we have this scenario in mind and would consider allowing soft pagination i.e. letting Word take care of the pagination for subsequent version of the product. This would allow the row height property to be "Atleast", instead of Exactly, which would make the file much more user friendly.

Hello Sascha,

New Word rendering extension is not in our short term plans. However Telerik Reporting is extensible and if required you can implement a custom Word rendering extension. Just implement accordingly the IRenderingExtension interface. For an example you can use our Word rendering extension source code. That is available for download from your account download page.

You can register your rendering extension in the report viewer with the following configuration:

<Telerik.Reporting>

<Extensions>

<Render>

<Extension name="MyWord" description="My Word export" type="MyNamespace.MyClass, MyAssembly"/>

</Render>

</Extensions>

</Telerik.Reporting>

For more information please check the Rendering Extensions help article. Regards,
Peter
