I am putting a footnote in an .rtf template, and before generating a report it seems ok,
but when I load an XML sample and preview the document (.pdf or .doc etc.)
the footnote content goes right into the body of my report (example is in the picture).
I've tried using text boxes, but it doesn't help.
I've also tried just making a paragraph look as a footnote, but since I have a lot of
tags in my template, the footnote-looking text doesn't stay at the
bottom of the page.
and I can't use footers/headers because I need only one footnote at one page.
Try to draw a borderless table with one column and two rows where the first row has fixed hight (exactly) of the size of body, and the second row fixed hight of the size you want to reserve for the footer. Then you place your xml data in those two rows of the table the same way as you put it on the page. I use that for different forms when the position of the data is fixed. There are also other table/row/column properties that you might want to use.
I'm building a tool that will create a formatted page of data that I can paste into confluence. The issue I'm having is with tables. According to the help pages I should be able to use the following markup to create a table, but when I paste it in it stays as-is.
|| Col1 || Col2 || Col3 ||
|---|---|---|
|Value1|Value2|Value3|
|Value4|Value5|Value6|
If I hit return on any of the rows, only that row gets turned into a table, and hitting return on subsequent rows doesn't add the rows to the same table. I can't hit return on all the rows anyway so this isn't a viable solution.
I've also tried using the macro to insert it, but then it turns all rows into a single row. What am I missing?
As an FYI, I am resisting building this out as a full html page as I want to use the built-in TOC functionality and not sure how that will go plus as far as I can tell the markdown doesn't support it
Seems it's the markdown that is the issue - if you select "Confluence wiki" from the dropdown when using the markup macro it works
I'd like to be able to edit my word document like said in the title. This is what my document look like after exporting to docx:
Structure: the table is generated with seven cells in a detail band. Every page have a footer and header of fixed length.
Problem: if i delete something on the first page, my text on the second page doesn't go up to the first. I managed to get text and tables moving in the same page but can't figure out how to do this with different pages. Jasper export to .docx using tables, you can see the gridlines in the picture. Table structure prevent the elements to float between pages. If i delete manually the "header" and "footer" tables from the document, my second page cells go up to the first. But it's a pain to edit manually every page of a 20 pages document everytime.
Desired solution: I want the text or tables to go up if i'm simply deleting something on the previous page.
Tried every combination of floating elements, subreport, stretc and so on. Nothing worked.
I know Jasper is not intended for massive editing after exporting but this is what i need now.
i am creating a report for SQL Server 2008.
i have a table with some rows. One of the row has a long text which will be displayed. If the text has a certain length, the whole row will be displayed on the second page and the half of the first page is empty.
If the text is a bit shorter, the text will be displayed correctly on the first page.
If the text is a bit longer, the text will also be displayed correctly (the first part of the text on the first page, the second part on the second page).
I cant find any settings for this problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

You could look at the Keep together on one page if possible setting at the Tablix level.
You can also look at the KeepTogether property at the row level and at other levels, e.g. Group.
Another option is to insert any objects to be kept together in a parent Rectangle object; this will always keep items together where possible.
I'm working with SSRS for the first time. When adding a table to a report, is there any way to add all fields of a dataset to it at once or does it have to be done individually? Drag & drop, insert column -> right is a pain when there are a lot of fields that are being displayed.
It's a bit of a workaround, but the "Add new report" wizard automatically creates a table with the specified columns and groups from your given dataset. I don't believe there's a way to trigger this functionality from within an existing report, but you could create a "sacrificial" report to get what you're looking for - run through the wizard, generate the table, and copy / paste it into your original report. As long as your datasets are the same, it should work just fine...
Hope this helps.
I have a similar problem as the op and am new to SSRS/BIDS. And, I am updating a previously created report which (for me) is too complex to just quickly re-create using the "wizard generation" as the datasource is a web service (with code-generated web service parameters, lots of calc'd datasource fields, etc). It is faster to just copy the .rdl, delete all, and create the table manually.
I thought I would add that (only a little better than op's method, but nonetheless it is time-saving) you can just drag and drop to populate columns w/o the "right click > insert column > right". Just drag the dataset field to the place you want it in the table and BIDS/SSRS will automatically insert a new column. It also helps to drag the latter columns first (i.e. always inserting a previous column) so you don't have to scroll to the right all the time.
I was looking for the similar thing and I have figured this out. Open your report in Report Builder 3.0 which is a free BI tool by Microsoft. Go to Insert > Table wizzard. Then just follow the wizard steps to generate auto columns. Save and reopen the file in your visual studio, file will refresh itself.

#Kevin Fisher actually there is no need a workaround. There is way to do this out of the box of Report Builder 3. Open your existing favorite report template. on the tool bar, click on INSERT tab, look for TABLE icon, click on the down-ward arrow at the bottom of the TABLE icon, then choose TABLE WIZARD. Then I guess you know what to do from here. -hope this help.
I agree that there is no way to bring all of the columns over from the data set to a table easily. But I came up with a method that helped me:
Insert a blank table (this usually gives you 3 columns). Then insert columns to the right of the table (right click, Insert Column, To the Right), as many times as you need in order for it to equal the number of columns in your data set.
Once you have all the blank columns created in your table, click inside a table cell box and use the drop-down to select the field. This has the added benefit of allowing you to get the fields in the correct order, since I've noticed that the field names in the dataset don't always appear in the same order as the SQL stored proc output.
