Word document in RB report

edited August 2002 in General
I need to create a ReportBuilder report that will dynamically integrate an
MS-Word document at runtime.
I'd love to have the Word output appear in a window on the page (that is,
covering about one quarter of the page).
I cannot use RTF or another exchange format because I need perfect control
with line spacing, graphics, and stuff (it's an ad design)... I really want
the native Word output.
The next best alternative would be to have Word print on a separate page,
but it should be included with the same print job as the RB report, for easy
faxing, etc.....Any ideas?

    RB doesn't support Word as a native output format, and I don't know of a
    third-party component that does.

    One alternative to consider: PDF. Should give you total control and is
    pretty portable.

    See www.waler.com or www.pragnaan.com for third-party components that
    convert native RB output to PDF...
