BIRT Interactive Viewer issue while exporting content in Word format

ramshankar

In my current project they have developed 100 BIRT Reports with two (First and Second)tables in each report and second table are exact replicas of the first table and the only difference is Visibility property.

For Ex) ReportOne has two tables first and second. second table are exact replicas of the first table.
The Visibility of the First Table is set to display in HTML and second table is set to display in all other remaining format expect HTML.

I am able to view the report output in BIRT interview Viewer and able to export PDF and Excel format but when i try to export in Word format
the content in the report is not getting displayed only header is displayed.

Question:
1. I want to know why they have used two tables just for the Visibility purpose ?
2. Why i am not able to export in Word Format ?
3. When i swap the tables in the report and generate the report output. i am able to export the report content in Word format why ?

Please help me understand the logic behind have two table just for visibility purpose.

Hi ramshankar,

Not being able to export to word format seems like a bug. As for the logic behind using two tables my guess is they might have applied different formatting to these tables or kept the scope open for defining different formatting styles to these tables so they appear in the desired format.
