When you create a report in TMG using the MS/Word 6, 67, 8, 97+ (or another
MS/Word) File Type option, the output of the generated report will be
directly in the format selected as if you entered the report manually from
the beginning. In other words, there is no intermediate file format, and
the report should open directly in MS/Word 6, 7, 8, 97+ (or other version).
If you aren't getting this, then something is not right. Let us know
exactly what settings you have chosen in the Report Definition Screen and
what version of MS/Word that you are using, and maybe we can point out
where the problem is. Alternatively, you may wish to contact Tech Support
<> and explain the problem to them.
