Printing with Microsoft Word for Windows

Description

The following function enhancements were made for printing with MS WinWord:

1. As of 3.0, you can transfer graphics (presentation graphics and statistics graphics) in the report portfolio to WinWord.
After the function call, you first get to dialog boxes in which you can make different settings. As of 3.0, you can store these settings. If you call the function 'Print' for the second time for the same object, for example, for the same user group, you can reuse the settings you made during first call.

2. The outline of the WinWord document in chapters was so far generally copied from the hierarchical structure of the report portfolio. So far, you could not make your own classification into chapters for the printout. As of 3.0, you can sort the chapters or deactivate them for the printout. This function works hierarchically. If you deactivate a report class, all object components of this report class are automatically deactivated as well.

3. For definition reports, more expressive descriptions are used as default values for the individual report pages, for example, 'Drill-down by division' instead of 'Page 1'.

4. As of 3.0, the system checks whether WinWord 6.0 exists on the PC.

5. As of 3.0, you can not only print from the report portfolio but also from the drill down. First, you can transfer the current list to WinWord. Second, you can transfer graphics (presentation graphics and statistics graphics) to WinWord.

The idea of connecting Word to the drill down is not to transfer a combined screen sequence with several lists or with lists and graphics to Word. This is still to be done from the report portfolio. When you call the print function, a dialog box is called with which you can choose different print settings.
