A new functionality was implemented for allowing a grid to be exported to a word template. This can be accessed from the grid's context menu → Word-Export.


Clicking on this opens up the Word-Export dialog. Right now, this is a copy of the Excel-Export dialog. The only required input for exporting the grid is the Word-Template field.

In order for this to work, we must first have a template defined and compiled.


If we wish to export a list of records from a grid, then we must define the template in the following format:


The simplest way to do it is to define a top-level bookmark (which is not included in any other bookmark) and a sublevel bookmark (included in the top-level one).

With the addition of dynamic dataset, the top-level bookmark can simply be named 'dsData'.


The sub-level bookmark must have the name of the temp-table being returned by the fetch request for the grid. If you already have a working grid you can check the fetch request from the dev tools:


Your bookmarks could look something like this:
