Using Word Templates to create a report

[Halliarse]

Crystal Reports Version 10

I am trying to create a statutory demand using a predefined word type template. Is it possible to get that template into a Crystal Report based on a 'one form per record' and then add data to it in preferred positions within the template?

Regards

If you prefer to use MS Word for this, just use MS Word to build the whole thing.

Otherwise you're probably better served to rebuild it using Crystal.

The difficulty in doing what you intend is that you cannot insert fields into the Word template directly from Crystal.

You might try inserting the Word template into the details, right click the details and select insert section below and then right click again and select the underlay following section, nowplace the fields in the lower detailssection, but that will likely prove very tricky if fields growq, etc.
