MS Word report

Hi all, I am trying to create a MS word document/report with images, from a XML data source with png, and I keep encountering error. But if I use the same XML without image content, then MS Word document is generated nicely.

So I have two queries/issues -

1. Can we generate the MS Word document, using the BIRT 4.3 or BIRT 4.2, from XML, which has got png/jpg content ?

2. The MS Word document generated without image content always opens in Web Layout, but not in Print Layout. How to resolve this issue ?

will really appreciate your responses,
thanks a lotManoj

1. Doing a quick test using both the word and DOCX emitters in 4.3.2 with a sample PNG image it seems to export fine. 2. You're wanting to export to word and have it auto opened in Words print layout, correct? I don't know of a way to do that off the top of my head but there might be a way to add a flag to the docx emitter to force word to open in the print layout. Let me know if this helps, I'll let you know if I come across a way to open a report in the print layout.

Hi Kristopher, Can you please share the Java code where the image file (as byte array) is added to the MS-Word document bytearray ?
thanks a lot
