RTF reports - language and OpenOffice.org issues
« on: December 02, 2007, 12:51:40 pm »
Hi all!

  I'm currently playing with RTF reports. I've got two main problems:

1. Language
 I'm Polish so I'd like to generate reports in my language. I've customized language substitutions but the result is far from being perfect. It looks like not all statements are listed in customization dialog which causes a complete mess in my report.
 Next thing I'm going to try is to custmize a report template - it's a lot of work so I ask here first. Is setting language substitutions and customizing a report template enough to get a fully translated report?

 Another question is where are substitutions and custom report templates saved? Is it a file or table in db?

 After I generate a rtf report I can open it with WordPad and it is almost ok then. The problem is that polish letters are not displayed properly for requirement object's element.note. In other places everything is ok with fonts.

2. OpenOffice
 When I move my report to an another computer and open it with OpenOffice, then the report looks like a template. Tags like {package.name} etc. are not substituted.

Any ideas on what should I do?

regards
Jakub

In the template editor, try: File / Document options / Overwrite document fields (ON)

Hope it helps
Regards.

Yes, it works :) Thanks.


An update to my previous post. After I generate report with polish language settings, the report is displayed properly in WordPad, but not in OpenOffice (tested on Windows and Linux OOo). In the latest tool polish fonts are displayed incorrectly. Is there any way to set universal UTF-8 encoding for reports?

Re templates.
These can be exported/imported from the editor, but they are saved in a compressed format in a database table.
