Glossary Item Box

Word is one of the formats to which you can export Data Dynamics Reports from the Viewer. Since this export uses Word HTML, only Microsoft® Word 2000 and 2003 are supported.

Options

Data Dynamics Reports offers several options to control how reports render to Word.

Author

Enter the name of the author to appear in the File Properties dialog of the Microsoft® Word application on the Summary tab in the Author field.
BaseUrl
Enter a base URL for any relative hyperlinks used in the report. This value appears in the File Properties dialog of the Microsoft® Word application on the Summary tab in the Hyperlink base field.
Generator
Set the identity of the document generator in a meta-data file stamp. The default value is Data Dynamics Reports.
PageHeight
Enter a value in inches (i.e. 11in) to set the height of the report's pages. This value overrides the report's original settings.
PageWidth
Enter a value in inches (i.e. 8.5in) to set the width of the report's pages. This value overrides the report's original settings.
Title
Enter the document’s title. This value appears in the File Properties dialog of the Microsoft® Word application on the Summary tab in the Title field.
UseMhtOutput
Note: Only Word 2003 supports this format. For Word 2000, UseMhtOutput must remain False.

Limitations

Interactivity. If drill down and visibility toggling are essential to your report, we recommend the HTML rendering extension. If a Table of Contents (document map) is essential to your report, we recommend the PDF rendering extension.

Section Background Color. Although background colors for controls export to Word documents, background colors for sections such as Body and Page Header or Footer do not.

Interactivity

Hyperlinks

Both in-document and external hyperlinks are supported.
BookmarkLinks
Valid bookmark links are supported.
Drill-Down
Drill-down interactivity is lost. Only what is visible in the report at the time of export is rendered in the Word document.
Visibility Toggle
Visibility toggling is not supported in Word documents.
Table of Contents
Document maps (or table of contents) are not supported documents.
