Consolidate reports to MS Word

Hi,
I would like to merge several heteregenous reports to one single MS Word 2003 document, and to be able to add feataures such as : main title before a report (heading1 style), sub titlebefore a report (heading2 style), table of content, etc ...
The consolidation has to be done programmatically, not by a user, by an application that is able to read and generate documents from "merged reports templates".
As a consequence, RTF format is not an option, because the formating is absolute, and the design is completely messed up when we add titles (or other information).
I also tried HTML but the generated code is awful for a generic integration with Word.
So I came up with the idea to use XML as Report's output in order to generate a Word document in WordML format (new XML-like format in Word 2003) by formatting the XML using a XSL transformation.
Has someone already had this approach ?
Are they any existing tools/tips/tricks to achive what I want to do ?
Thanks in advance.

Tijs,
take a look at the following site :
http://www.sequel.nl/html/sqlword.html
and take a look at the product SQLWord.
A colleague of mine used it for one of our customers and both sides where quite satisfied. Hopefully you are too.
Regards,
Gerard

hi experts,
i Have to display multiple tables in the word document . i am displaying the first table but when i try to display the second table it is getting displayed inside the first table. When i debugged , i found that that the cursor is still in the first row of the first table even after the first table is displayed and the second table is displayed from that cursor position. How to get the cursor position after the end of the table ie outside the table to the main document.could some one help me on this. Below is the code i have used.

SOP report goes into word repaginating

hi
I am facing a word repaginating porblem while opening my SOP report.
I have assigned a DMS doc with doc type SBV to the specification work (it is a word .docx file) . I created the report SOP from the specification work bench and it is in realsed state also. But when I tried to view the released report either from CG54 or report management , the word document that is opening goes into the state of word repaginating . It remains in the same status till i cancel the action. But during this process the system outputs the report template perfectly to the extent of report body but the part where i have assigned the DMS doc show some wierd symbols.
If I try to view the report from 'report from template' functionality in CG02 or from cg42 I get the output of dms document as well along with the report template.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Here you would not only have to take care of the document type settings of SBV, but also of SBR and SBE.
Document type SBR (not SBV) is used for generating reports for specifications using released report templates and contain expanded specification data. While, SBV is for only defining the report template in which you use symbols of various symbol types to define the layout of your reports. The link between report templates and report generation variants enables you to generate reports (SBR) and final reports (SBE).
Hence, the problem may be of incorrect settings in document types SBR and SBV. Check the document status and workstation application settings of these doc types based on SAP note # 0000995736.
Hope, above solves your problem.

The export of a Crystal Reports to MS Word creates big files

Hi all,
if I export a report to pdf the file size is 72 KB . But if I export to Microsoft Word (97-2003) format, the filesize amounts to 1,35 MB.
After I opened the exported document in MS Word and saved it with a new name, the size is only 176 KB.
Is this a common problem? Is it possible to force crystal reports produce a smaller document?
Why does Crystal Reports create such large files?
(Environment: Crystal Reports 2008 SP1)
Regards, Timo

Hallo Don,
first Iwill tell you, if I do export the Report to MS Word, in the FileDialog, it is only possible to create a *.rtf - File.
Do it act normal?
So due to your suggestion, i replaced an Image in the report (embedded as an OleObject) as a Graphic-JPG-Object.
The size of the exported report has reduced from 1,39 MB to 141 KB.
Thanks a lot!
Timo

Export standard and Custom report to xls / word / power point ??

Hi
Apps: 12.1.3
DB 11gR1
Is there any tool so that i can save standard and Custom report to xls / word / power point ??
Thanks
Vishwa

There are a few third party tools that let you do that.
Some such tools are Monarch, Rep2excel etc.
Google for "convert oracle report to excel" and you will get a few more hits.
The best way to get it in Excel is to change the output format to XML and write a quick XML publisher template.
Hope this helps

Report Viewer 2012 Word Render Margin Problem‏

Hi all,
I am developing a asp.net web application /w visual studio 2012. I have created some reports with report viewer, and I would like to export those reports to pdf and MS Word format. The pdf output is same as I expected, but the word output is
missing top and bottom margin, it leads we cannot print the header and footer correctly in MS Word, also the repeat header on each page property didn't work too.
If I use report builder 3.0 and try to export the reports to pdf and MS Word format, the problem still exists.
Is anyone has the solution for this issue?
I think its related to sql server reporting services, please let me know if I posted at wrong category.
Thanks,
hk

Hi hkcheung,
According to your description, you have issues when exporting the report into Microsoft Word file. The margin of header and footer can't be displayed. And the RepeatOnNewPage property is not working. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we export the report into Word file, it will ignore page header and footer height settings. Also Word does not repeat header rows on page two and greater, although you set the
RepeatOnNewPage property of the static header row in a tablix (table, matrix, or list) to
True. For more information, please see the limitations in the link below:
Exporting to Microsoft Word (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to load Report data into Word Doc.

Hi,
I built a couple Oracle reports. However my client wants to load these report into Microsoft word to look the same format as Oracle reports. How can I do it?
Thanks
Dave

Dave,
have you tried DESFORMAT=RTF (I'm not sure if that is what you want)? This created a rich text format file readable with MS Word.

Report Generation MS-Word always give error

Hi
I am using LV 2012 and MS Office 2010.
I am using report generation toolkit to have a customised output report.
When I specify output format as excel, I am able to get the desired result but when I specify output format as word, it always throws an error. I checked running the NI examples meant to give output in word but they all fail while the excel reports are perfect.
Please find attached an error code for one of the example Sample Report(word).vi
Please suggest the solution.

We need to see the code in order to say "Here is the error" or "Try doing it this way". It also gives us something to try, ourselves. Do you know how to make "snippets", which are .PNG "pictures" of your code that you can simply put into the message using Insert Image? We can then drag this image into a LabVIEW Block Diagram, and voilà, working code!

Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.
I'm in the process of upgrading from forms 6 client/server to 10g developer suite, so this is my try with a web based system.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or where I should look.

What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:

Report Generation Toolkit (Word) : How to use correctly bookmark and cross-reference without "Error! Reference source not found"

Hi,
I try to generate a report using a template. In my template I use some cross-reference to refer to one bookmark. For exemple in the first page I created a bookmark for my name and in the header I created a cross-reference refer to my name. The problems is when I run my VI the bookmark actualise perfectly but the cross-reference refer to the bookmark can't actualise with the same value and generates an error : "Error! Reference source not found".
Can somebody help me please!

Hi,
When i create the word template, the bookmaks and the cross-reference referred to the bookmark update correctely. The problem is when I try to change the bookmark using "report generation from template vi" the bookmark change but not the cross-reference and the error generated is "Error! Reference source not found".
I make coople reasherch and i think they have no solution for this because : "if the text in a heading referred to in a cross-reference is revised, the cross-reference to the heading may no longer work" (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/troubleshoot-cross-references-HP005189368.aspx).
To "resolved" this problem I create an other bookmark in the template who have the same value white the principle bookmark.
I use Labview 2011 and Micosoft office 2010.

Labview 2013 report generation toolkit word 2010 insert table problem

Hi,
I am currently evaluating LV2013 with respect to the report generation toolkit for use with word 2010. My Vi/program won't insert the correct table and gives me an error message. see below:-
Exception occured in Microsoft Word: The requested member of the collection does not exist.Help Path is wdmain11.chm and context 25421 in NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Insert_Table.vi->NI_Word.lvclass:Append Text Table to Report.vi->Word Table save.vi
I have since run the following word example.vi provided by NI within LV2013 office examples:- Growable table.vi. this gives me the same error!
Exception occured in Microsoft Word: The requested member of the collection does not exist.Help Path is wdmain11.chm and context 25421 in NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Insert_Table.vi->NI_Word.lvclass:Append Text Table to Report.vi->Growable table.vi
It would seem that regardless of my own Vi there is a fundamental problem in the office example vi.
I have found examples of a similar problem in LV2011/2012 but the work around code doesn't seem to match the LV2013 vi's code for a direct replacement.
Can anyone help/shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

Because the upgrade of Word from 2007 to 2010 I needed to upgrade an existing application from LabVIEW 2009 to 2013. This didn't work because of the insert table error. I discovered that the problem is the vi called "Word_Insert_Table.vi" located in the ..Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb. There is a "Cut" command implemented, this command removes the created cell instead of clearing it. Therefore the table will be filled half and then returnes with an error. I have removed this command. I have posted the changed vi (LV 2013).

Printing report to MS word

i'm building a stand alone application that puts the collected data into Microsoft Word, and it then sends the word report to the printer when click Print from my LabVIEW. But when click Print it runs and generates error message that says "Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in Dispose Report.vi ->Word Report.vi ->Main.vi". I think i'm missing something during building application stage but i'm not sure what it is. How can i approach this error?

Hi locman,
This error happens when the Report Generation Toolkit's dynamic VIs are not included during the build process. There are two great knowledge-base articles that deal with this error 7 and using the Report Generation toolkit in word and excel. The first one Please take a look at it and let us know if you have any other questions. I hope this helps!

What are needed to have labview print report to microsoft word

In the cd with the report generation toolkit you can find the procedure for building an executable.
You have to add the following vi's dinamically:
- vi.lib\addons\_office\_exclsub.llb\_excel dynamic vis.vi
- vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\_word dynamic vis.vi
