HTML formating lost when exporting to Word and Excel

zac

Hello,
I'm using BIRT 2.5.2. I've created a hierarchy of items using HTML. The output is fine in the viewer and when I export to PDF. However when I export to Word and/or Excel the indentation is lost.
This is what I'm using in a Expression builder (Javascript) field. The pixels value hold the depth of the item.

'<div style="margin-left:' + pixels + 'px;"><a href="' + row["URL"] + '">' + row["SUMMARY"] + '</a></div>';

Is there a workaround? Thank you.

Could you try downloading a newer version and seeing if it works the same? If it does, you could add spaces, instead, in the DOC and XLS outputs.

Spaces would work but I need to keep the indentation when the line wraps around, hence defining a <div> with padding or margin.

Ah. True. I didn't think about that. You could always file a bug at eclipse.org/birt in the bugzilla. They might be able to give you a better explanation of why it doesn't work, too. Could be because of Word and Excel, rather than a BIRT issue.
