Saving a report to Word

Post by cbattino »

I am using Word in Office 19. PowerChurch saves reports in a .DOC format. Is an update in the works? This seems to be at the very brink of incompatibility.

MS Word will continue to support importing files in DOC format which you can then save in the newer format. MS doesn't want to lose potential customers. The problem is that often when you do save as DOCX, MS Word loses the formatting due to the 'improvements'.

The issue is that the report writer being used does not export in the newer .DOCX format. This is a third party component that Powerchurch has no control over, thus they can't change it, and there aren't that many available that will not charge a very exorbitant licensing fee that would cause Powerchurch to increase the price of PCPlus by at least 20 to 25% of what it currently is.

Thanks, Neil, for a prompt response and for clarity. Wish it were not so, but I get it.
