Capabilities of Word templates

Rendering the output for a report in Microsoft Word format provides several improvements over the capabilities of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer rendering engine. These include:

• Support for any font.
• Better graphics support for images such as logos.
• Support for Microsoft Word features such as watermarks.
• Portability of the report. Any user with Microsoft Word can view the report.

Microsoft Word is not designed to have the features of a report writer. The following is a list of the capabilities of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer rendering engine that are not available in the reports generated in Microsoft Word format:

• No running sums on pages
• No page headers or page footers in the report. All page headers and page footers must be implemented using feature provided by Microsoft Word.
