Sticking with the report writer and Word alone, not that I can think of. If you're ambitious, you might try creating an Encapsulated PostScript file - Postscript is a document definition language, which embeds commands in the output streamrther than sending graphical data for a printer; you could write a parser to convert that to Word (there may even be such a translator, but I have not used one; EPS was a common standard for the Mac, so there's some hope.) You might look into GenRepoX to see if it can help - perhaps it cn create RTF that Word can read.

Several third-party tools can create Word documents as output. If you weren't required to put it in Word, but just needed to view it after it was created from a PC< you might consider creating a PDF file using Adobe's (expensive) program and driver, or one of the compatible PDF print drivers.
