Exporting to Word, then re-sorting

[seanprichard]

Hi-

I really need some help on this...

I export a Crystal Report to MS Word. I then re-sort the Word document by dragging each text frame to the appropriate place. It looks right on the screen. It prints right. But when I export it to text, or even copy and paste it into another application, it reverts back to the original order (ignoring the changes I made).

Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can make it stop? Does Crystal embed links in the Word Doc that makes it keep a certain order?

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

Specs –I’m using Crystal 9 and Word 2000 9.0 SP-3, Windows 2000 OS. The Crystal report is pulling from a SQL database.

I just tested this here with your same environment and it saved with the changes I made.

I used View->Normal (I believe it defaults to Outline) to make the changes, and it retained my changes.

You might try exporting to Excel or RTF or Text and see if they serve you better
