Description

Would it be possible for Archi's Word-format Jasper reports to use the Heading1, Heading2, Heading 3, ... styles (and presumably tags)?

If the headings in the Word report were so marked it would allow use of Word's built-in Master/Subdocument facilities to split up a several-hundred-page report document into scores of much smaller documents - which would be easier to manage and use with the "customers".
