exporting to RTF from Rave code-based report

[Ray Porter]

Hi all,
I've dropped the necessary components on my form and the export to RTF
actually works just fine. The problem is when the report is viewed in MS
Word, all the text is in visible text boxes which makes the report hard to
read. I've never seen this when exporting to RTF from any other tool (for
example, saving MS Access generated reports to RTF). The text boxes make
reading the report very difficult and since these reports are being
generated for my associate vice-chancellor boss, I'd very much like to get
rid of or at least hide them. I don't mind if I have to set some attribute
in Word though I'd prefer to be able to keep the text boxes from showing up
at all since my boss may print these reports directly and she isn't computer
savvy enough to set properties in MS Word.

Thanks,

RTF <> RTF.... I use for rendering from Rave Reports into RTF the eDocEngine
2.5 from Gnostice, I can recommend this addOn for Rave!
