Mail merge

Post by catalin »

Hi,
It's possible to make a report like Microsoft mail merge? I want to make a report with 30 pages and I need to know what type of component should I use.
The tool has a text editor? I mean, could I have different fonts in the same text component? It's possible to indent text?

Thanks,
Catalin

Hello, Catalin.

If you need to use different text format in one text component, you could use the HTML tags for this.

Thank you.

Hi,
It's ok what you say. In this way I can make the report but here it's another problem. If I use HTML tags in report when I export it to word the tags are not converted to word equivalent. Almost always I need to modify something in the exported report. Do you have a solution for that?

Hello.

Unfortunately, the HTML tags are exported to Word as image.
Word does not support the HTML tags and there is no other solution at this moment.
But we are working in this direction.

Thank you.

Hello.

We are happy to inform you that the HTML tags are exported to Word as text.
It was added to our JS report engine, if you are using the Flex report engine you should upgrade to HTML5 components.
Please, check our latest build that is available on our site now.

Thank you.
