Removing text box in exported RTF

Hi, I'm using Crystal report 8, I exported my report to Word doc,
but the words are gettings scrambled and misaligned so I use Rtf which is fine but I noticed every word is enclosed in a text box, it makes it hard to edit the words. How can I remove those boxes? ThanksThat is only pointing the field area
Why do you want to edit the exported data?

Removing Rich Text formatting from a field

I have a field where the data is stored with RTF. I know SQL Reporting Services cannot display it properly. Is there way to remove the RTF formatting codes through a function to just pull out the text and displya it in the text box?

I had a similiar problem and found this link helpful:

I just took the function provided in the above link and placed it in the Code section of my report. It may need some tweaking depending on your specific needs but hopefully it will help.

place this code in your Code section:

function StripRTF(ByVal rtf as String) as String
rtb.Rtf = rtf
return rtb.Text
end function

Add a reference to the System.Windows.Forms namespace and create a class instance of System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox with an instance name of rtb

Hi,

Code Snippet

function StripRTF(ByVal rtf as String) as String
rtb.Rtf = rtf
return rtb.Text
end function

I've similar problem and the above function works in Report Designer. However, when it is deployed in ReportServer, it didn't work at all.

Is there something we need to do in the Report Server?

For your info, both Report Designer and Report Server sits in different machine.

Please help.

|||I am having the same issue. The code works fine in report designer, but out on the report server I get "#Error" in place of what is supposed to be the parsed text.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance
