Export to Word with LayoutDirection of RTL on Tablix

When exporting to Word from SSRS 2008 R2 - setting the LayoutDirection of a Tablix to RTL causes the rendered table in word to appear in inverted order:
Selecting the table and setting Table direction (in the Table Properties dialog) to Right-to-left once already in Word corrects the issue.
Leaving LayoutDirection as LTR renders in the correct direction, but then tabbing through the table in Word is in the wrong direction.
Any chance that SSRS can be made to render LayoutDirection=RTL to Table direction=Right-to-left?

Hi Sq,
I have tested it on my local environment, we cannot reproduce this issue. My test environment is SQL Server Reporting Service 2008 R2 and Microsoft Word 2010 on Window 7. So this issue may be caused by your design structure of your report, if possible redesign
the report to check if this issue is persists or not.
If the issue persists, please elaborate the structure of your report, if possible could you please post both the report and the dataset with sample data to us by the following E-mail address? Then, I can try to reproduce the issue again and for further analysis.

How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.

Export to WORD - what's with these boxes around the text?

Post Author: Emily
CA Forum: Exporting
I am new to CR. I am using version 10.0.0.533 We use CR with ClearQuest for problem reporting and other data collection.
Rational (ClearQuest Vendor) tells me it's a CR X problem.
I use a CR report exported to MS WORD as a template for taking meeting minutes. With our old CR version, the ClearQuest export was great and I was able to add text into the report. With CR X, the report in MS WORD comes out in text boxes and editting this output is not pretty. I do not want the boxes, I just want free flowing text as if I had written a WORD doc so I can edit it easily during the meetings. I have tried export to text, copy, paste but I loose all of the formatting. I have tried HTML and then copy, paste, but this is even worse than the text output. RTF also has the text in boxes.
Someone out there MUST have run into this problem also. Help me...

Exporting PDF to Word with Acrobat 8 - Does this work?

Has anyone had any success with a decent export-to-Word using Acrobat 8 (from CS3)?
Acrobat 7 is worthless for this. I suspect the woeful results have much to do with how the PDF was made. If it came from InDesign or Illustrator, and has layers, that will no doubt flummox wonky old Word.
Or, is it the wonky "export to Word" function that's wonky? I see there is also "Export to RTF" which is much the same file format as .doc. You get exactly the same crazy results.
Here at my job, they have determined the best way to get a decent Word doc out of what we're publishing is to export each individual text box from InDesign as "RTF". Then open word and wrangle all the bits.
This is time consuming and senseless - certainly the technology exists to convert PDFs to Word cleanly and perfectly.
Or ... is Adobe just telling us, by quietly setting us up to fail, that we shouldn't be using Word at all? So they're not going to bother to make this work?
Sadly, at my gig, we need to do this. Our clients are dinosaurs, and the average T-Rex is deathly afraid of Acrobat Reader and PDFs.

< Frankly, I don't really give a lot of thought to employers who refuse PDFs for graphic design positions. It's like asking me to retouch a photo using MacPaint.>
A resume is a document, not a design sample. A lot of employers do not want "designed" resumes at all. They want simple searchable text resumes. Even using special formatting features in Word can mess up their processes. HR departments could care less how pretty it is, all they want is data. You'll need to impress the design manager at the interview, after HR has passed it on. Even the hiring manager may find a highly designed resume to be annoying and difficult to read.
Of course if that's not where you want to work, that's up to you, but you might be turning down excellent design positions by insisting they accept things your way instead of doing things their way! ;-)

Page print order disruption on SSRS with tablix set LayOutDirection to RTL

Hi
Strange thing occurs when setting tablix to display as RTL layout.
I was building ssrs report which contains matrix which display dynamic columns order by a time field
it displays like this:
now all I wanted to get a mirror image by setting the LayOutDirection property to RTL.
strangely this is the result:
the data rendered on the 1st page is the one that should have been displayed on the 6 st page and vice verse , the pages are rendered from the last one to the first while all I did is changing the layout property.
How can i achieve the correct behavior.
Thanks,
Lior Schwimmer

Hi Lior,
According to your description, you have created a matrix and column group is sorted based on the time field. But when you specify the RTL layout for the matrix, the report doesn’t display correctly in print layout.
In Reporting Services, if we set the LayoutDirection as RTL, the data region will display from right to left with its structure as a mirror image of the data region if it were rendered left to right. In this scenario, the corner of the data region appears
in the upper right corner. If dynamic columns exist in the report, they will expand to the left. Besides, RTL settings do not affect the order of the data in the data region, columns are simply ordered differently.
As we tested in our environment, the mirror image can display correct both in preview results and print layout results after specifying RTL setting for the matrix. So in your scenario, please check if your are specifying the RTL property for the matrix.
If issue persists, please share the report design for our analysis. Also please provide some screenshots about the full preview results in preview and print layout options.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Pages for iPad does not support export/import of Endnote references in the form of formatted bibliography.

Yes, indeed, feedback directly to Apple is possible
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
While Pages does not currently import/export and preserve the Endnote formatted bibliography, another app known as Documents to go does; there is not citation software for adding references though, but preservation is good.

Crystal Report error exporting to Word

My company recently deployed a Microsoft Security Patch to our workstations that's causing a problem with Crystal Reports. When exporting a Crystal report to a Word file (from a VB 6 application) the following error is generated when opening the file: "You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting."
My company uses Crystal Reports v 8.0.1.0. Is there a more recent release that provides a fix for this error?
Thanks.
David
Edited by: David Verbinski on Nov 5, 2008 10:35 PM

I know 100mb works because I have created word document reports with that size before using the crystal export. Just really big reports. I'm not sure on the exact size because it doesnu2019t work but I know there is more data in the report than the 100MB report which works so it doesnu2019t work on some reports larger than that (don't know the specific size because it doesnu2019t work) sorry for being redundant.
Not sure about a size limitation on an RTF formatted document that is saved as a *.doc (word document).
It's my understanding that exporting to a .doc is the same as exporting to .rtf because the .doc is in .rtf format. I may be wrong but if you change a .rtf extension to a .doc extension, you get the same thing when opening the file in word.
When exporting to RTF format I get the same error, so I believe they are using the same or similar process.
Yes I tried on other machines and different servers and the error only occurs when exporting large documents to word. Small documents work fine.
If there are file constraints in exporting to word, I believe a more distinct error message could be displayed related to the specific error.
No I did not upgrade my pc or software, I developed the report and am running specificly for 11.5 release 2 with service pace 3 installed.
Thanks,
K

Export to Word from SAP B1 2007A

Hi all.
When trying to export marketing document (sales order) to word from SAP B1 2007 A - I get error message. The error message appears in the word document and it states "unacceptable field". The template document also fails to return values in some of the data fields. We are using Office 2007.
I have tried solution from notes (868723), saying to check "typing replaces selection". I've also set macro settings to low and given acces to VBA Projects.
Has anyone some suggestions?
Thanks and regards, Runar Wigestrand.

Export to Word RTF - Page Server error when over 160 pages exported

We have XIR2 SP2
We have a Crystal report published into this Enterprise which, when all parameters are widened, runs to 190 pages.
The resultant report includes tables
We can export to PDF but the client requires it in Word RTF
We can export to Word RTF Editable - and all 190 pages are produced in the resulting file, but of course the tables are omitted and the result is messy.
So, we need to export to Word RTF where the format is neat and includes the tables.
However, when we try and export more than 160 pages to Word RTF, we receive the following error.
CrystalReportViewer
handleCrystalEvent failed
Unable to retrieve Object.
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
We have a duplicate environment with an identical configuration, standing by as a failover environment and which points to the same data.This produces the same error, so we don't think it's an installation corruption or failure.
The page server is set to a maximum of 2,000,000 rows, the cache server at 256000 maximum.

Hi Tony F,
Many thanks for coming back on this one. Both Enterprise servers are identical in BO config, Windows 2003 server, but different in hardware.
One has 4 proc and one has 2, one has twice the memory of the other, yet both fail at over 161 pages. Both have their boCMS db's on different servers, both derive the data from different servers.
IIS is the web server. The only common denominator is the actual installation software itself and the person who installed it (me).
On Friday, instead of running the reports in Enterprise/Preview or Infoview (both exhibit the problem) I switched from our default activeX to DHTML, and advanced DHTML. No improvement (Our report wouldn't work with Java, which we never use)
On the suggestion of the SAP/BO support girl, I then SCHEDULED the report for immediate running and chose WordRTF as the format. This works fine.
So on that evidence I suspect a software glitch that is specific to using Infoview to open the report rather than schedule it - the two processes must access the WordRTF translator in different ways.
I'm hoping there is a patch or hotfix that can solve it. Sadly, our users don't have the appetite for the few extra clicks to use the workaround so we're going to have to pursue it with BO unless the forum comes up with an answer - perhaps its something I didn't do properly on installation, or a CMC/CMS setting. We've got 2m row limit on the page server but the report's row count is nothing like that and, anyway, it works if scheduled.
I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to reply, I hope the above answers your question - if I had hair to pull out, I'd be doing just that!
Kind regards
Tony W

Export to Word loses tab setting

Post Author: HmCody
CA Forum: .NET
I am very new to Crystal Reports with VS.net and have run into a problem that I hope isn't a bug.
I am creating a report that needs to be able to be exported to Word (it gets sent to the printer for inclusion in a program). Several of the text objects are formatted with right tabs set at the right edge of the object. Everything lines up perfectly when the report is viewed in the Report viewer and when I export to a pdf, but when I export to Word the right tabs are converted to left tabs and the text aligned to them is out of view.
Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry - no pointers. Other than patience - this is a known issue, probably to be addressed in Service Pack 3 of Crystal reports.

Export to Word, Text does not appear in Word document

I have created a document in Pages which needs a table as part of it. I need to convert it to Word for work but when I use the Export to Word function it creates the Word Doc file but the table is blank - no text in the table at all? (Other text outside of the table is created).
Apart from that the formatting is not as it should be and some text (outside of the table) is incorrectly placed on the Doc file.
My fall back up to now has been to export to pdf (which works perfectly) and email that, but that stops it being edited at work.
Where should I be looking to make sure the text in the table in pages is exported to the Word document?
Or amn I expecting too much?
I am using a retina iMac, Yosemite OSX. Thanks.

Pages v5 (any version) is none of the following:
Word clone
Predictable
Professional/business grade software
Complete
Entirely debugged
Thoroughly documented
Many have, and continue to report export problems with Pages v5. Since we cannot peer over your shoulder as you enter text in a table, or if you tried to make the table behave as if in MS Word, the best bet would be to drop Pages entirely and use MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 (update 14.4.7 or later). Then you will be able to stop gambling with document conversion, work in the native Word .docx format, and recover some lost productivity. Word, not Apple's Pages, is the corporate word processing standard — for a reason.

Export to Word file size is huge

Sometime after the end of March, the "Export to Word..." action in Pages has started producing very large file sizes. The Pages file itself will be 119KB, but after exporting to .doc, it will become 1.5MB. I have to export Pages files to Word all the time, to submit files to submission systems that have max file sizes, so I've been unable to upload my files, which is obviously a problem (and didn't used to be).
To fix this I have tried... restarting. I have deleted the Pages plists, restarted. I have tried exporting on a different computer with the newest version of Pages, which produced the same file size result. I have copy/pasted the text into a new file, tried again. Etc, etc. In the end, I had to borrow a friend's computer to pull the 1.5MB Word export into Microsoft Word itself and resave, to get the expected smaller file size of 47KB.
Please help. Or, if there is no solution, I'll report as bug to Apple Feedback. Thanks!

To my knowledge all Pages 5 Exports have been particularly bloated.
Since I have not considered Pages 5 worth using for serious work I can't compare between Pages 5.1 and Pages 5.2 as to whether the problem has actually got worse.
All I know is that Pages 5 files & Exports are massively bigger than Page '09 files & Exports.

Export to Word document comment timestamps

Export to Word document from Pages 4.x causes timestamps for all comments to update to time of export. Is there a way to change that behavior?

Jesse,
That's a pain, isn't it?
When the comment autofills the timestamp, backspace it out of the comment and replace with your plain text version of the current date and time. That should put a stop the the updates.

Export to Word--docs can't be opened

When I export in Word format, the documents appear in the folder, but can't be opened in Word. (They can be opened in Pages, and look fine.)
Any thoughts, anyone?

(I've restarted, and it happens in both apps)
But thanks to your thoughts I just created a new user, and Export works fine with it! So something is corrupted within my normal user. When I get some time I'll try deleting various preference files of Word and Pages, unless you have any better suggestions!
