Reporting: Word Writer node

Feedback & Ideas
1

Hi,

I really like the new Reporting Extension. However am I missing a write to Word (.doc, docx, or Libre Office) node? BIRT had this possibility.

Writing to html and PDF is great, however sometimes a report should be editable as it is not a final version yet. And Word would be the standard for such documents.

If not, I’d like to suggest a Word Writer node.

Of course the formatting would be an issue, however there are Continentals’ XLS Formatter Nodes, which are amazing. Something similar for Word would be amazing to get your formatting right (Headings, Fonts, etc).

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Will vote for it as well :slight_smile:

Just another idea: maybe a Markdown Writer would be another option? Markdown could be opened and read by Word and LibreOffice and is also a basis for html and others. So a more robust version of an editable text format.
