office 2007 working with sql server report 2008

[Guest Wendy Elizabeth]

Since I am new to sql server report service 2008, I have the following

 

questions to ask:

 

 

 

1. I have alot of reports that need to have one to 10 paragraphs written

 

prior to when the table is displayed. Thus, I was thinking there would be

 

toolbox items like a 'word' document that you can drop onto a sql server

 

report 2008. However the closest thing I see is a texbox. Thus, is there any

 

feature I could use that will display the paragraphs prior to when the

 

repiort is generated?

 

(The closest item is looks I can use is a textbox. Does the textbox have

 

'word' document formatting features?)

 

2. Is there away to get a word 2007 document addin to the SSRS 2008

 

development environmnent that I could use?

 

(I see there is something like Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, but

 

I work for a small company and we do not need a larger server for our needs.)

 

3. Is there a way to add sql service report service 2008 to a 2003 or 2007

 

word document environment?

 

4. When generating these reports, they will be exported to word 2003 or 2007

 

documents. Thus are there any formatting features I should be aware of so the

 

sql server report 2008 reports will have formatting problems? I want to make

 

certain that all the data is displayed appropriately for one page. basically

 

there are not page breaks between different sections of the reports, data

 

that show be one one page does not overflow to two or more pages.

 

5. I would like to know how to make certain that that paragraph(s) that are

 

setup to precede always show up prior to when the report is displayed.

 

 

 

Thanks!
