Export To MS Word

Hi folks,
Is there a way to export the report output to MS Word from reporting
services directly ?According to the docs, the only export formats are:
TIFF
Acrobat (PDF) File
Web archive
Excel
XML
CSV
HTML with Office Web Components

No that I know of. There is a product by SoftArtisans, called
OfficeWriter (WordWriter/ExcelWriter), that provides advanced
exporters to Word and Excel, but it is not a straightforward solution:
you CANNOT use it with your existing reports, and must use their
designers to take advantage of these exporters. The opposite is a
problem as well: if you designed a report in their designer, you won't
be able to use any standard exporters with it, unless you maintain 2
separate designs in the same RDL file. Creates a maintenace hell, if
you have a lot of reports. :(~|||thanks for the update.
