I need to fill in fields in Word doc templates to be printed/pdf with ReportSharpshooter. I'm trying to get a handle on it conceptually - at what part of the process does the insert happen? Do I first desiign a RSS report with an RTF field and data fields as inserted into the RTF? How do you handle places where there might be multiple lines of data (this is insurance policies and at some points there will be lists of things appearing on the policy)



Is there a particular place in the docs or samples I should be looking? Anyone have a RSS report as a sample I could look at?



Thanks



Charles





Any guidance to get me started will probably save me a lot of time and will be greatly appreciated. I am still somewhat of a novice with RSS.

On further studying your example I think it is coming into focus. It would seem those body text boxes could contain RTF with substitutions done within the framework of an RSS template with fixed items.



I think this is going to give me a starting point.
