Feature of the Day: Word Template Generator
Word Template Generator
Why this feature is cool!
Use the Word Template Generator to create the initial Word Template for a report in Microsoft Dynamics GP. This utility saves development time because you don’t need to create the report template from scratch. The utility creates a template document that closely matches the design of the Report Writer report. This tool is a partner only tool and will be available for download only through Partnersource.
· Create a template for unmodified reports
o Create an XML document by printing the report to an XML format
o Run the word template generator to generate the doc template
· Assign the template to the report in Microsoft Dynamics GP
· Assign the template to the Company
· Render report using the Template dropdown option in the report destination window
What does it look like?

Any thoughts to creating a Report Writer to Excel template (for example - trial balances in General Ledger).Anonymous

Mary, That is not currently planned. I would suggest using Smartlistbuilder to create a trial balance type report and then save as an Excel report. This way, you simply have to "refresh" in excel to get the latest information.
