Not entirely true. You can set up the Generic Text printer in
Windows and specify that it prints to file. You may get a
few control characters in the output but it can be cleaned up.

I have not received any help on the following. Any help would be
appreciated.

How do I save a report in report builder so that someone else can
open it in MS Word. I would like to be able to save as a file, then
email it to a remote site. When I follow the directions in the help
file, it doesn't work correct.


Thanks
Chuck

You would need to export the file as a text file through the Report Builder
export function.

Go to File, Export. Enter the path to where you want it exported. (EX:
C:\windows\temp\"name of report") You can then open it with Word and save
it as a word file.

Here is the best you can do with RB. Using the report builder program go to
the EXPORT option under the file menu. You can then print the report to a
text file which Word can handle. Your users will NOT be able to print to a
text file using the custom reports options in Vantage. Only those users
with the report builder program can EXPORT to a text file.
