    The word report would need to be customized as you have only done the rdlc version

    Or is it doing this when you send the rdlc version to word ?

    I take it you are using the custom report layout rather than the development environment

    When you design a report, you must take into account that you have different rendering extensions

    1. Print layout (Hard page break renderer HPBR)

    2. PDF (HPBR)

    3. Word (Soft Page break renderer (SPBR)

    4. HTML (SPBR)

    5. Excel (SPBR)

    It is the typical duty of developers to test all rendering extensions and accomodate the development to what suits best. In your case, you develop RDLC report that typically target HPBR. As developer, you have to investigate why this SPBR is adding the extra page. It could even be an explicit page break. Hard to say in a blog. The best recommendation is to remove controls one by one until also the word SPBR works as expected.

    Last comment. If you need to use Word SPBR then you have to cope also with the limitation imposed by this. Such as e.g.

    If your customer wants a Word report then is better if you use the Word Document feature (implemented since NAV 2015 onwards)
