Hello,
in ARIS, URS and FS reports are opened in MS Word, but it is actually a Rich Text Format document. Is there the possibility to have them opened from ARIS directly as a Word Document instead?
Thanks in advance
Giacomo

Hello Giacomo
I don't know what you mean by 'URS and FS reports'.
But it could address this topic:
The old report output object was only able to create RTF documents but has been 'masked' as MS Office .doc document. This is because MS Office is able to open such a camouflaged document and could be stored as a true .doc with 'Save as...'.
With ARIS 7.2 (7.2.0.546073 ) the ARIS development department introduced a new library which allows to create "true" word documents (*.doc).
The new report output object can be set globally or per report:
Globally in the "userServerSettings.cfg" file with "<report use-new-output="true" />".
Per script with "Context.setProperty("use-new-output", true);"
If you use the term "false" instead of "true" the previous report output object is used.Best Regards,

Hello Frank,
thanks a lot for your reply.
Actually the script is now set on false: Context.setProperty("use-new-output", false)
So if I set it on true [Context.setProperty("use-new-output", true)], I'll have .doc Reports, right?
Do you think it will affect the format of the pages of the Reports.
Best Regards
Giacomo

Hello Giacomo,
That could happen and may depend on your report code because of the new external library.
Also I do not know your exact ARIS version / SR. Maybe you can try with a current version, were some issues have already been fixed. See the corresponding Release Newsletter on the ARIS Download Center for further information.
Btw. the new library also supports .docx.
Best Regards,
Frank
