SoftArtisans

SoftArtisans OfficeWriter enables the design, publishing and delivery of reports directly from Microsoft Excel and Word using SQL Server Reporting Services or ASP.NET. End users design and publish their Reporting Services reports without ever leaving Microsoft Office - avoiding design tools, like VS.NET, that are unfamiliar to most business users. OfficeWriter creates Reporting Services reports (RDL files), but unlike Reporting Services’ Excel output, all Excel features such as pivot tables, VBA, macros, advanced formulas and charts are preserved by OfficeWriter. Without OfficeWriter, Reporting Services can not deliver reports in Microsoft Word format. OfficeWriter-rendered documents preserve all of the Word features contained in the user’s existing Word template. All of this is accomplished without the need for Microsoft Office on the server.
