Non editable cells in BIRT generated word output?

<p>[font="arial;"]I'm using a grid to divide my report. Tables of data-sets [/font][font="arial;"]could be i[/font][font="arial;"]nside of the grid-cells[/font][font="arial;"]. Normaly such result-tables have no header and footer rows. Depending of the report-parameter it could happens, that the result-set has no rows. That's why the included table will not be generated. This is correct. [/font]</p><p> </p><p>[font="arial;"]My problem is: Such a grid-cell, which contains no result-table or other data fields is an empty-cell. If you are generating a word document you are not be able to enter such a cell in the word-editor and to edit such a cell eg. for remarks.[/font]</p><p> </p><p>[font="arial;"]If you are generating HTML output this cell has the following property:[/font]</p><p style="margin-left:35.4pt;">[font="arial;"]<td class="style_1" style=" overflow:hidden;"></td>[/font]</p><p> </p><p>[font="arial;"]My questions are:[/font]</p><ul class='bbcol decimal'><li>[font="arial;"]Is it possible to modify the styles in the designing phase to prevent “non word usable empty cells”?[/font] </li><li>[font="arial;"]If not, is it possible to create a script e.g. “on render cell” to check if the cell is really empty? If yes I would set the cell value to HTML blank ([/font][font="arial;"]<span style="font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;).[/font]</span></li></ul><p> </p><p>[font="arial;"]<span style="font-size:10pt;">I have prepared a test-report. If you are using as report-parameter 10 and 15 you will get such an empty cell.[/font]</span></p><p> </p><p>[font="arial;"]<span style="font-size:10pt;">Thank you[/font]</span></p>

<p>Why not simply have two objects in the cell. one the a table the other a label (with no text). Set the visibility on the label to appear in Word only and if the table is empty.</p>
