I have a crystal report (v8.0) that I need to export to RTF. The report contains mostly graphs and charts. The report prints fine from crystal, but when I export to RTF, the formatting of the report is different than what it was in crystal. It also creates a rather large file (~14MB). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better export this to either a Word document or RTF? Is this process improved in version 8.5?

Exporting to Word

Most export modes in 8.0 do not retain the format of the report, except for .RPT mode.
.RTF is better than Word, but still is very poorly formatted for most reports.
.RTF was fixed in version 8.5, it looks very good.
Also in 8.5 .PDF mode looks very good.
Word mode is still horrible in 8.5
I have found DHTML mode to be pretty good in version 8.0, but it is not something you could send to an end-user.
