Hi, Orgler
Thanks for the
feedback. Can you log two enhancements in Eclipse bugzilla, one for outputting
list as continuous text. and another one to output 2007 docx format..
For list output,
do you see each detail list section to be exported as separate paragraph, new
line, or not separation between them? It will also help us to understand the
enhancement if you can attach a sample report design, current WPML export, and a
desired export in the bugzilla.
Br,
Wenfeng

Subject: [birt-dev] Word export creates Word-tables from BIRT-List
Hi,
we're producing a quite long word-report using BIRT. That
report consists of many List ReportItems, where some of these Lists are nested
in the "Details" of another List. This is working fine so far, except
for one annoying thing: When exporting to word-2003 wpml, each List gets a Table.In
our context, this is quite ugly, since this makes it difficult to manually
adjust the report. Is there a way to setup BIRT-WPML-Export in such a way that
the content of a List is just printed as continuous text instead of a table?
For grid I can see it is useful to have them mapped to word-tables,
but I don't think this is necessary for Lists, is it?
Just one more note: Is there a special reason for using
word-2003-wpml for the export format? I understand you can't write the
oldstyle-word for many reasons, but I'd prefer the 2007 docx-format, since for
this xml-format there are import-plugins for older word versions. But I don't
know if there's an easy way to produce such docx from within Java. In the
dotNet-world, there is some SDK for building such documents, but I don't know
if there are such things for Java.
Any help would be highly appreciated,
