You can assign a Word template to a report so that when the report is printed, a Word document is generated instead of a Dexterity report.

Printing a report output in Microsoft Word format provides several improvements such as support for any font, better graphics support for images such as logo, support for Microsoft Word features such as watermarks, as well as any user with Microsoft Word can view the report.

Features that are not available include no running sums on pages and no page headers or page footers in the report. All page headers and page footers must be implemented using feature provided by Microsoft Word.

The following Signature Service Management reports have a corresponding Word template available:

Service Invoice 1

SV_Invoice_Type1w

Service Invoice 1 History

SV_Invoice_Type1h

Service Invoice 1 Grouped

SV_Invoice_Type1wgrouped

For information about creating, modifying, or troubleshooting Word templates, see the Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer User Guide, Part 9.
