I know how to split out the item description on a SOP document into 2 calculated fields and print the modified form so that both of the calculated fields (all 100 characters of the item description) print on the standard form. On a SOP Word template, though, I'm only able to get one of the 2 calculated fields I've created to print. I've tried adding the calculated field to different sections of the report but it still only prints the first item description field and never the second. ( I added the calculated fields to different sections in Report Writer, then printed the .xml file and updated the source in the Word template and added the calculated field in the different areas there.) Though I can pull the first 80 characters of the item description in the first array, is there no way to get the other 20? I've never used VBA with GP, so I'd prefer not to go that route if I don't have to.

Hot diggity! That does the trick. Thanks Lyn!!
You absolutely can do this. It sounds like you have part 1 (set it on the standard form) all set.
Now all you have to do is get it onto the Word Template. Andy Sather had a great blog post about how to use Nested Tables to do this: community.dynamics.com/.../how-to-display-more-than-four-line-item-comments-in-the-sop-blank-invoice-word-template
Give these steps a try, and if you get stuck anywhere, let me know. I've done this a bunch of times, and it generally works really well!
