export to doc,postscript error

Hi,all
I designed a report using a crosstab,the crosstab has many dynamically generated columns. Now I want to export my report into html/pdf/ppt/xls/doc/ps format.
It works well exported to html/pdf/ppt format when I properly set the width/padding/margin..of the crosstab.
To retain the format when exported to xls, I use a script in afterFactory() method to setProperty of the master page,finally the generated excel is satisfied.

But when the report is exported to doc, the doc content is blank, with gray color, the info shows as:
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.wpml.DocEmitter startTable
WARNING: There are too many columns in the table , just output the first 63 columns.

When exported to postscript,only the left part of the report is got.

What can i do to get the right format of doc/postscript?

Thank you in advance!

The version i used is "2.5.1.v20090903"

Hi Karen,

If you limit the amount of columns for the DOC output to 63, does it work? For postscript, how many columns are displayed? If more than 63 columns works for all outputs except DOC, it may be a limit in Word or whatever other program you're using.

mwilliams, 
 
I always thought it was my report design error, actually it's not! 
Thank you very much for your reply! 
For your questions: 
1.When the amount of columns for the DOC output is less than 63, it works. 
2.For postscript,the exported .ps file has no error, just set the width in the tool "GSView/Media/user defined" to a proper value, I can see all the columns. 
3.Word supports the maximum of 63 columns,22 inches.If using the Nomal view/Web layout view to view data,all columns can be seen, even though some columns are too narrow.
