Hello, currently we have most of the Reports with "RDLC" we would like to convert that Report to Word so I could edit without a developer, is that possible?

1- Export Report Schema

2- Open Word - XML - Add the XML:

I want to see the report layout so I can edit the fields/ Add more fields and save it and re-import in BC

thanks,

You cannot just convert a rdlc to word, you need to create your word layout and then you can customize however you want.

Yes you cant convert rdl to word. You have to develop it.

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to convert RDLC to Word.

You will need to rebuild it from scratch.

As other experts have mentioned, these are two completely different types of layouts, there is currently no conversion tool, you can only remake them.

Thanks.
