I have a report,when i export report in to the word format in ssrs 2008 r2 ,i lost my charts that are present in to the bottom of the report.I think this due to the page-break that occur.Please suggest me the appropriate solution about that.
please check the image of the report
Go to the properties for the chart and select "Add a page break before." Let me know if you are still having issues after doing that.
I would also try putting all of the items in a rectangle (and adding a page break before on the rectangle itself if necessary).

Im using RDLC for VS 2010 and exporting the graph to a word document gives one extra blank page (its not showing in PDF though). All of the dimensions in Report, Chart and Body are set 11x8.5 with no margins. I just wonder what could be causing the blank page in Word.
I was having the exact same problem and managed to solve it by adjusting the layout of my report.
Basically I moved all of my rectangles/tables etc to sit tightly next to each other, eliminating any white space where possible and also resized the report to be as small as possible, i.e. sit tightly against its contents.
It might also be worth enabling the report option to 'ConsumeContainerWhitespace'.
I suspect Word uses its own pagination logic, which is why you see a difference between pdf and doc. So it may just be the case that your report is over-running very slightly into the next page and saving a little space on the report may prevent this.
I realise this is not a precise answer, but I hope it helps nonetheless.
I want to design a template/report where certain component's position become static or frozen. Anyone using my jrxml file, should not be able to re-position it at design time. He can add/delete new fields, but cannot modify components I have frozen.
Is it possible?
No. The .jrxml is just a text file (an XML file). There is no feature for locking it down in iReport.
You can achieve functionality like this by abstracting the user from the .jrxml. For example in JasperReports Server you can let the user layout the report, but the server always places some fixed things into the final report.
I have a 2008 SSRS Report that is being export to as MS Word doc using the standard Export functionality provided by the SSRS tool. Even though the data on the report is textual in nature and resides in text boxes, the Export is rendering the text using tables. This formatting is too cumbersome for the users. Is ther a way to adjust how an MS Word is rendered using the SSRS Export functionality
The regular export can be pretty ugly. OfficeWriter has export functionality that can be a bit prettier. If you need a ton of control over the style of the resulting word documents you should take a look at it.

Is ther a way to adjust how an MS Word is rendered using the SSRS Export functionality?
No
MS word and SSRS are like the long lost friends still trying to figure out things on rendering. One way I dealt with this problem is to make sure there is a master tablix and the rows are filled with the tablix calls the information to be displayed and aligned. If there is any sort of information to be displayed together place a different tablix and try to avoid using the row visibility which have heavy chance to leave empty space when rendered to word.
And there are chances of the header and footer to be truncated. To solve this place a text box above the entire header and below the footer make sure the textbox font color is white to hide the textbox.
I'm using JasperReports to generate a word (docx) document but I have a problem when I want to try to print the doc. The exporter messes up the margins of the page. Does anyone know how to prevent that from happening.
I know how to set the margin in iReport, but it just makes the data generate further from the page borders, but the margins in word which can be adjusted at the top of the page is laying right at the edge.
Has anyone had this problem?
Are you able to specify the page size? Its possible that using this in combination with the margin settings will help the export problem.
If you are not too heavily invested in your Jasper solution, Docmosis and JODReports let you layout the document visually using Word or Writer then render the report in various formats. This may save you time in the long run, but all reporting systems have quirks. Hope you find a solution, especially when your output is not PDF.
Is it really true that Crystal Reports does not support images that have transparency?
We are using it at work and the guy that does Crystal Reports told me it doesn't support transparency. I couldn't believe it so I've spent the last 20 minutes googling and think he might be right. This seems absolutely incredible in this day and age.
Can anyone please confirm whether or not CR supports transparency, and if so how you do it (we are not limited by the type of image to insert - png, gif etc).
For the record we are using CR version that comes with VS 2008 (version 10.5).
CR doesn't support transparency but you can use a wmf image to solve your problem.
I'm using CR 12 (2008), i need to put an image as signature (as a watermark) on another image.
Example:
Background_image.jpg
Signature_image.jpg
Convert Signature_image.jpg into a wmf file using "Inkscape" (freeware).
In the report, we have "Background_image.jpg" and over it the "Signature_image.wmf" image,
it works great!
Just reached over here while searching for same problem. Unfortunately this is true till this date :(
Answering this question for users who may visit again here.
Transparent background of image is not retained when adding it to Crystal Reports
I achived solution following way.
Painted transperent area with printing page color i.e. white in my case.
I would like to put image in page header and some text over it.
In CR design mode.
right click in page header section -> select section expert
select page header -> click insert
In page header a check "Underlay following sections" -> click ok.
back in design, in section "page header a" include image.
In section "page header b" include text which I would like to show over image (i.e. I am expecting to be transparent).
Hope this helps for future visitors.
There is another work around I tried and was successful. If you want the image as a watermark in your report, use your report as a sub report in the detail section of the main report and keep the image in a main report page header and use the option 'Underlay Following Sections' in the Section Expert. All the lines and texts will appear properly on top of the image.
As AR_Italy said, confirmed that wmf files are the way to go, even though SAP site says transparent images are not supported, so thank you to AR_Italy.
The only thing I would add is that these can be Exported from Adobe Illustrator as well (make sure your image has a transparent background first).
If your Image has a white background AND your lazy just check this out:
Rightclick on your report, select Report and Report options and Check "Retain Original Image Color Depth
