The following layout issues can occur for report
template documents.
Incorrect data in Word document
If the generated Microsoft Word document for a
report does not contain the correct data, or data is missing from
the document, check the following:
Verify that the standard version of the
report is working correctly. If the standard version of the report
isn’t displaying data correctly, the template version will not
either. This problem is more likely to occur if you have made a
modified version of a report.
Be sure the bookmarks for the report
template document are defined with the correct names.
Verify that the bookmarks are not located
inside of a field you added to the report template document. If
they are, the template processing engine won’t be able to find the
bookmarks.
Field values are empty
If a field value is empty in the generated
Microsoft Word document, check the following:
Verify the item was dragged to the report
template document from the appropriate report section of the XML
data. If the item comes from the wrong section, it will not contain
any data.
Be sure that you have all of the tables
needed for the report template document. Data values may not appear
in a report if the report is missing one of the standard tables,
such as the Report Header table.
Column headers do not repeat
This issue can occur for report template
documents that use the column pattern. Column headers for tables
that repeat at the beginning of each page are a feature of
Microsoft Word. You must set the table property that indicates the
first row of the table is to be repeated.
Items missing from
Custom XML
If items are missing from the Custom XML for a
report template document, this typically means that the report
definition was changed after the report template document had been
generated. You can import the updated report definition using the
procedure described in Updating the data source for a report
template.
Company image does
not display
If the company image for a report does not
display in the generated Microsoft Word document, check the
following:
Be sure that an image has been assigned
for the company. You may also want to run another report for the
company to verify that the image is displayed.
Be sure that the Picture Content Control
has been properly defined. If the properties for that control are
not set to the proper values, the template processing engine will
not be able to find the control.
