    Check out www.waler.com and www.pragnaan.com. You can use these devices to
    export to RTF which you can then open in Word.

    But BEWARE there are real problems if the report that you are exporting
    contains ppRichText components. Both Waler and Pragnaan have as yet
    unresolved problems with this - they export the richtext component report
    contents as a text box. But Word does not allow text boxes to span more than
    one page. Result - invisible text.

    Advice - try before you buy. And both to their credit let you do this :)))

    Hi Sarah,

    so Word has a problem but not Waler or Pragnaan.

    Hi Chris,

    No, I do not know of a single rtf viewing application that can show a page
    spanning text box. If you have one then do let me know. I have tried Word,
    wordpad, and ediors created by a variety of TRichText components. I would
    hazzard that page spanning of text boxes is not part of the rtf definition.

    The problem is not with Word or the others, the problem is with the rtf
    produced by the devices.
