On the General tab of the report writer you can set to output to Screen,
Printer, or File. If you select File, you can select what format
(application) to output to, i.e., any of several versions of Word,
WordPerfect, and others...Under Tools/Options/Advance/DDE Commands you can
set the path to the application and when the report is generated it will
open the report in the application.
