Custom Word Part Templates
You can create custom Word part templates (such as a title page part template) to:
• Tailor report formatting to meet your specific formatting requirements.
• Delete a hole. For a description of holes, see “Part Template Holes” on page 6-10.
• Rearrange the order of holes.
• Add fixed content to a footer or header.
If you delete a hole in a part template, then the generated report does not include the
component data associated with that hole. For example, the rgRectoTitlePage part
template includes an rgAuthor hole. If you delete the rgAuthor hole, then reports
generated with the template do not include the author, even if the report has a Title
Page component that specifies a value for the Author property.
The only kind of holes that you can add to a part template are the holes that the
Report Explorer supports for that part template. For example, for the rgChapter part
template, you can only reinsert rgChapterTitlePrefix, rgChapterTitleNumber,
rgChapterTitle, and rgChapterContent holes. Do not add multiple instances of the
same kind of hole in a part template.
