Since I am new to sql server report service 2008, I have the following
questions to ask:

1. I have alot of reports that need to have one to 10 paragraphs written
prior to when the table is displayed. Thus, I was thinking there would be
toolbox items like a 'word' document that you can drop onto a sql server
report 2008. However the closest thing I see is a texbox. Thus, is there any
feature I could use that will display the paragraphs prior to when the
repiort is generated?
(The closest item is looks I can use is a textbox. Does the textbox have
'word' document formatting features?)
2. Is there away to get a word 2007 document addin to the SSRS 2008
development environmnent that I could use?
(I see there is something like Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, but
I work for a small company and we do not need a larger server for our needs.)
3. Is there a way to add sql service report service 2008 to a 2003 or 2007
word document environment?
4. When generating these reports, they will be exported to word 2003 or 2007
documents. Thus are there any formatting features I should be aware of so the
sql server report 2008 reports will have formatting problems? I want to make
certain that all the data is displayed appropriately for one page. basically
there are not page breaks between different sections of the reports, data
that show be one one page does not overflow to two or more pages.
5. I would like to know how to make certain that that paragraph(s) that are
setup to precede always show up prior to when the report is displayed.

Thanks!
