Reporting Services Word export

Hello there.

on "SQL Server Chat: Reporting Services Is Here" which was at January 28, 2004 this question got asked:

Host: Lukasz (Microsoft)

Q: How far are you from having export to Excel 97/2000 and Word working? I heard there are plans.

A: We are investigating doing these rendering extensions. We do not have a fixed timeframe for this work.

This is 2.5 years ago.

In this thread:

the same question got asked again.

Are there any advances to this topic?

Thanks, Tobias.No.

http://www.sqlserver205.de|||This probably doesn't answer your question about Word, but we added binary BIFF8 Excel output (Excel 97/2000/XP/2003) in Reporting Services 2000 SP1.

We are still considering a Word rendering extension. You might want to check out SoftArtisans OfficeWriter (http://officewriter.softartisans.com). OfficeWriter offers a report designer in Word and Excel and renders reports created by OfficeWriter to native Word and Excel binary formats.|||Meanwhile we use SQL RS 2005. I've read something about a "post-SQL 2005 release" in the other thread. Are there any timed milestones?

We have just changed our reporting from CrystalReports to ReportingServices. There is no time to do a third implementatin on OfficeWriter.
