(617) 607-8843 Version 3.5 of
OfficeWriter Supports SQL Server 2005 and .NET Framework V2.0
Many New Features for Excel and Word
Watertown, MA November 15, 2005 - SoftArtisans has announced that its
release of version 3.5 of OfficeWriter fully supports both Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. OfficeWriter is a high-powered reporting
tool that delivers native Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office
Word over the Web without the need for Microsoft Office on the server.
Hundreds of customers are already using OfficeWriter with SQL Server
Reporting Services to design and deliver their reports without ever leaving
Microsoft Office. The familiarity of Excel and Word eliminates the need
to train business users on other report design tools.
As a renderer within Reporting Services, OfficeWriter generates Report
Definition Language (RDL) files that preserve every Excel feature, such
as pivot tables, VBA, macros, advanced formulas and live charts, while
also adding Word to the export options within Reporting Services. Currently,
Reporting Services supports only Microsoft Office Web Components, PDF,
XML/MHTML and limited Excel output.
“SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services will work with OfficeWriter
to utilize the world’s most recognizable content formats –
Microsoft Office Excel and Word – to provide customers with report
management and security features in an easy-to-use format,” said
Don Petersen, Sr. Product Manager, Microsoft SQL Server. “Our applications
work together so customers can design and deliver the Excel and Word reports
they need for business intelligence.”
New OfficeWriter for Reporting Services Features:
Full SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 support
New rendering extension for Reporting Services 2005
Add real Excel and Word to reports designed in Visual Studio 2005
Render Excel and Word reports from the same RDL file
This new version of OfficeWriter also adds significant Excel and Word
functionality, including document merging, watermarks, R1C1 formula support
and conditional formatting, just to name a few of the new features.

(617) 607-8843 Most Powerful
Version of SoftArtisans OfficeWriter Released at Microsoft TechEd 2005
Additional Support for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
Watertown, MA June 6, 2005 – In conjunction with Microsoft Tech•Ed
2005, SoftArtisans has released version 3 of OfficeWriter, featuring Microsoft
.NET application objects for both Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft
Office Word 2003 and increased support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting
Services.
With the enterprise edition of OfficeWriter, users can create and modify
any Excel and Word feature at runtime or use the easy template-approach
to design reports. The new version also brings new Application Objects
for both Excel and Word in the Java™ Edition of OfficeWriter and
more functionality to those who are now using OfficeWriter with SQL Server
2005 Reporting Services.
“SQL Server 2005 will work with OfficeWriter, so customers can
utilize content formats they already know – Microsoft Office Excel
and Word – to author Reporting Service reports,” said Lucho
Torres, Group Product Manager for SQL Server at Microsoft Corp. “Together,
these products help customers gather and deliver data they need to analyze
their organization’s information.”
With the release today of version 3 of OfficeWriter, users can avoid
proprietary design tools that are unfamiliar to most business users who
regularly create reports. Equally as important, companies can continue
to use complex legacy reports, which feature Excel and Word, as they shift
to Reporting Services. When used within Reporting Services, OfficeWriter
generates RDL files that preserve Excel 2003 features and adds Word 2003
to the export options within Reporting Services.
"Version 3 of OfficeWriter is a significant release for us as we
continue to enhance Reporting Services’ functionality within Microsoft
Office 2003, but also greatly improve the Excel and Word reporting capabilities
of Excel 2003 and Word 2003 within our stand-alone product,” said
SoftArtisans CEO David Wihl.

Adds Full Excel and Word Support to Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services
Business Users Design Reports Within MS Office
Brookline, MA October 11, 2004 – With the release today of a Reporting
Services Edition of OfficeWriter, SoftArtisans boosts the usability of
the Microsoft reporting tool by providing the ability to design and deliver
reports directly within Microsoft Office. Without SoftArtisans OfficeWriter,
Reporting Services customers must design their reports in Visual Studio
.NET.
“OfficeWriter complements SQL Server Reporting Services by providing
full-function Excel and Word output,” said Microsoft SQL Server
Senior Product Manager Don Petersen. “The integration with Microsoft
and SoftArtisans allows Reporting Services to take advantage of the ubiquity
of Office as a report writer for end users.”
SoftArtisans OfficeWriter enables the design, publishing and delivery
of reports directly from Microsoft Excel and Word using SQL Server Reporting
Services, ASP.NET or Java™. With OfficeWriter, end users can avoid
design tools like VS.NET that are unfamiliar to most business users. Equally
as important, companies can continue to use complex legacy reports, which
feature Excel and Word, as they shift to Reporting Services.
This special edition of OfficeWriter generates Reporting Services reports
(RDL files), but unlike Reporting Services’ Excel output, all Excel
features, such as pivot tables, VBA, macros, advanced formulas and live
charts, are preserved by OfficeWriter. Reporting Services currently supports
only Microsoft Office Web Components, PDF, XML/MHTML and very limited
Excel output.
Without OfficeWriter, Reporting Services can not deliver reports in Microsoft
Word format. OfficeWriter-rendered documents preserve all of the Word
features contained in the user’s existing Word template.
"This is a huge leap in functionality for Reporting Services,”
said SoftArtisans CEO David Wihl. “Not only does OfficeWriter enhance
Reporting Services' support for MS Office - it more importantly empowers
end users to design and manage reports in familiar MS Office. No new training,
no new client-side requirements and full preservation of all MS Office
features - a winning combination."
Through a toolbar integrated within Excel and Word, it’s easy to
access a data source and insert data/text through merge fields and repeat
blocks. After designing the report, the toolbar is used to save, preview,
edit and publish reports to the Reporting Services server for distribution.
Thanks to this freely-distributed client-side design tool, there is no
need to switch from Microsoft Office to the browser to generate reports.
The Reporting Services Edition of OfficeWriter is packaged with the Enterprise
Edition of OfficeWriter v2.5 or sold separately. There are no per-user
costs with OfficeWriter. It is licensed per server CPU.

OfficeWriter v2.5 Improves Design Capabilities in Microsoft Reporting
Services
Newest Version Includes Image Insertion and Complete Pivot Table Support
BROOKLINE, MA October 11, 2004 - SoftArtisans has released OfficeWriter
v2.5 which includes a SQL Server Reporting Services Edition, image insertion
in Microsoft Word and complete pivot table support in Excel.
OfficeWriter enables the design, publishing and delivery of reports directly
from Microsoft Excel and Word using Java™, ASP.NET, Classic ASP
or Reporting Services. End users design reports directly in Excel or Word,
avoiding design tools that are unfamiliar to most business users.
"With OfficeWriter 2.5 we’ve added a huge leap in functionality
for Reporting Services with full support for Excel and Word,” said
SoftArtisans CEO David Wihl. “But our current and new customers
will also see new features and performance enhancements in both theWindows
and Java™ versions of OfficeWriter that are not related to Reporting
Services.”
Utilized by 8 of the Fortune 10, the OfficeWriter suite of products includes
ExcelWriter and WordWriter.
A key new feature in ExcelWriter centers around one of the more powerful
tools within Excel – pivot tables. With ExcelWriter, power Excel
users can now modify or create-from-scratch pivot tables in their server
side code.
Major new features in WordWriter v2.5 include the ability to insert images
from a database and improved field marker support. WordWriter customers
will also see enhanced performance in the newest version. WordWriter is
now three times faster than its previous version.
The release of version 2.5 coincides with the launch of a Reporting Services
Edition of OfficeWriter. Unlike Reporting Services’ Excel output,
all Excel features, such as pivot tables, VBA, macros, advanced formulas
and charts, are preserved by OfficeWriter. Without OfficeWriter, Reporting
Services can not deliver reports in Microsoft Word format.
