Default SQL Server 2008 - what means "Word based report authoring" - 10-05-2007 , 08:57 AM






Hi,
I just came across the new feature list of SQL Server 2008 - "Word based
report authoring", do I interpret it right when I think it enables me to
edit XML text contend of the database with a Word 2007 front end?

It would be a phenomenal feature!





Thank you

Michael Mueller



..."Office Excel-based and Office Word-based report authoring. The Microsoft
Office 2007 toolbar and task pane add-ins allow users to use Office Excel
and Office Word as their design tool and front-end for SSRS. Standard Office
Excel and Office Word formatting tasks, such as inserting tables, formulae,
formatting, and images, can be done by using the standard Office Excel and
Office Word procedures and dialog boxes...."

No, I'm pretty sure what it means is that your use Word as an RDL editor
rather the Report Builder or BIDS.
