Using Word Easy Table Under Report Generation takes long time to add data points to table and generate report

Question

Hi All,
We used report generation tool kit to generate the report on word and with other API 's under it,we get good reports .
But when the data points are more (> 100 on all channels) it take a long time  to write all data and create a table in the word and generate report.
Any sugegstions how to  make this happen in some seconds .
Please assist.

Well, I just tried my suggestion.  I simulated a 24-channel data producer (I actually generated 25 numbers -- the first number was the row number, followed by 24 random numbers) and generated 100 of these for a total of 2500 double-precision values.  I then saved this table to Excel and closed the file.  I then opened Word (all using RGT), wrote a single text line "Text with Excel", inserted the previously-created "Excel Object", and saved and closed Word.
First, it worked (sort of).  The Table in Word started on a new page, and was in a very tiny font (possibly trying to fit 25 columns on a page?  I didn't inspect it very carefully).  This is probably "too much data" to really try to write the whole table, unless you format it for, say, 3 significant figures.
Now, timing.  I ran this four times, two duplicate sets, one with Excel and Word in "normal" mode, one in "minimized".  To my surprise, this didn't make a lot of difference (minimized was less than 10% faster).  Here are the approximate times:
     Generate the data -- about 1 millisecond.
     Write the Excel Report -- about 1.5 seconds
     Write the Word Report -- about 10.5 seconds
Seems to me this is way faster than trying to do this directly in Word.
