>I thought getting a report to Word was going to be easy. And it is, kind of. The problem is that in both Mind's Eye and XFRX the document uses some sort of textbox. So each element on report becomes a unique element in the Word document and the document can't be edited like a normal Word doc. This makes it a pain to work with and also makes it slow to print. I thought generating an RTF via XFRX would solve the problem, but it did the same thing. Do the other products that promise Word output do this? Maybe it's the only way to get the absolute positioning, but it makes for a Word document that is uneditable, for all intents and purposes.]

Russell,
If outputting through an FRX is not a must IMHO directly writing to word via automation is best. Like FRX is a template you might create a word template too once and use that template. Then multiple options exist to put your data on word :
-Mailmerge
-Document variables
-Bookmarks
-Directly writing,inserting,formatting tables, values etc.
I've done all kinds of these ways and one of them only fitted to last option (+using bookmarks). In that one I was able to create a word document with multiple columns (word columns), different layout for columns, child tables inserted and precision formatted with even 90 degrees rotated headers etc. Whatever you do if do much of it on VFP side and let minimum VBA code to run to make it fast (ie: If a block would have many text change but a uniform formatting, make text modification part in VFP and do a single paste&format on word side).
And finally creating an HTML version is easy and word can open HTM.
