i'm working with ms access and i have a report wich i want to exporte in Word when complete.
I'm facing problem with a text box while exporting. The report looks like this
The problem is i cannot know how much would be written in that textbox , 2,3,4..word pages. And i cannot create a text box extremley big to hold every possible size cause i would export blank pages with only the top (title and logos). How can i make it dynamically expandable?
Heres the report with text, there are many many 'aaa...' up not shown , it was just to make you see the line of '1' to show that they dont appear after export
And here is the exported result

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I currently have a report with 5 sub sections of data, each surrounded with a Rectangle.
I am wanting each sub section to appear on a new page and then be able to export to Excel and each section to appear on a new Tab.
I set Page Break / Break Location in each Rectangle to "Start" and label the PageName to what I want to call the Tab. When I run the report the 4 subsections show correctly but I am left with a blank page before I get the 5 section, but when I export it to Excel it appears correctly.
What I want is 5 pages in the report for each section and when exporting I want 5 tabs, can someone tell me where I am going wrong with setting the pagebreaks if that is indeed what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks
As you are successfully exporting to Excel, but not the report viewer, this suggests your report and page sizes are not correctly set up on your 4th subsection.
When you have report elements that are slightly too large for your report page, the parts that 'overhang' will generate a new page of just the part that overhangs. This is often a very small amount of white space, so it looks like the page is completely blank. When you are exporting to formats such as excel, this does not matter so you correctly see the page breaks as new sheets.
To check whether this is the case, add borders and fills of different colours to all your rectangles and then run the report. On your 4th 'blank' page, if you see any colours or borders you will know which rectangle or report element is growing beyond its page.
I have a SSRS (.rdl) report with a tablix whose details group is set to put a page break between group items, reset the page number and set the page name (as per http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2010/04/25/report-design-reset-page-number-on-group.aspx).
This works correctly when rendered to HTML or as a PDF.
When rendered to Word the page numbers do not reset and the page name never changes (the page name is always the value set on the first page). The page breaks work as expected.
I have read (at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283105.aspx#ReportHeadersFooters) that complex expressions must be converted into runs of simple expressions in order to display correctly when exporting to Word. I have done this but the problem persists.
Is there any way to make the tablix group reset page number and page name functionality work when exporting to Word?
If not is there a way of achieving the same effect when exporting a report to Word from SSRS?
This is an older question but recently ran into this issue myself so it might help someone else.
There are a lot of examples out there that use casting in the examples for the page number display (CStr or ToString()). Whenever I invoked those methods, the counts would be off when exporting to Word (either doc or docx).
The only way I could get it to work is with three separate text boxes in the footer with these expressions:
=Globals!PageNumber
"of"
=Globals!TotalPages
Avoid the use of those other approaches. Three separate text boxes was the only way I could get this to work.
I have created an Access 2013 report consisting of several Text fields all bolonging to one record. However when I open the report, in some cases a field is cut up over 2 pages, and some text is missing/lost between the pages.
Apparently i need a "reputation" to post images, and am totally new in here, so I dont have that, but I do have an image of the problem that I can send if there is another way to do this.
There must be somewhere I can set a property on the report, grouping or field or whereever, but I cant find the setting, and have tried a lot of things allready.
It would be ok, that the field is moved to the next page if it caannot be fitted into the current one, as long as the text within the field is not lost.
Hoping you can help me...
Best regards

I need to display a Textbox in the body of the report, but it has to be on a separate last page. It is actually a Word file that needs to be shown in each report, but seeing as how the only way to accomplish this is to put the file to the Report Server and then access it with a link, I decided to copy the contents of the file to a Textbox.
This and this question on SE are similar, however it is not exactly what I need.
You can achieve this by adding items with appropriate page breaks to the report.
Say I have a simple report with a table and a textbox:
The end result looks about what you'd expect:
However, we can force the textbox onto a new page by embedding it in a Rectangle and setting the Rectangle to always be preceded by a page break:
Now the report displays the textbox on the last page:
Tables themselves can also have page breaks, but since it's just text with no dataset it makes sense to me to use a Rectangle here.
I've been asked to make a small change to one of our RDLs. Essentially, I have some fields in my header/footer which pull information out of the resulting dataset (this is done by creating hidden textbox in the report body, then creating a textbox in the footer with its value set to ReportItems!txtHiddenMsg.Value).
Unfortunately, the message in the footer is dynamic: it displays a customerID and a custom "Thank you for your business" message in the customer's native language in the footer, and there are several customer IDs contained in the report, so the footer text actually changes from page to page. This means its not possible to hard code the text in the footer or bind it to a different dataset.
The report renders just fine in ReportViewer, but the fields disappear when exported to PDF. I don't know how to phrase this problem, so I apologize if this is worded awkardly:
How can I bind a field in the header/footer to a dataset field and without the field disappearing from the PDF export?
Unfortunately, the only solution that may work is aspose.pdf
PDF export appears to not detect the indirection.
My BI colleague tried this and found it better than the standard solution.
I did some detective work and found that several of our other reports bind columns to the header/footer, and they export just fine. It seems like my report is the exception rather than the norm.
Cause of the problem: The row containing my hidden textboxes was set to invisible (I did this so I wouldn't have to toggle the textboxes individually). It seems like there is a bug undocumented feature in the PDF export where it ignores text in invisible rows.
Solution: I made the row visible and set all of my textboxes to be invisible. Now the report outputs fine, and the export looks fine as well.
Try to use hidden/internal report parameter with default values set to read from dataset.
