Do you have .rdl -xml structure? What exactly your file contains?Best Regards, Uri Dimant SQL Server MVP http://dimantdatabasesolutions.blogspot.com/ http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/

I got several 30 pages doc file as my report sample, what I need to do is to create those reports in sql 2008 using reporting service. Thought it will save a lot of time if there is some way to convert it from .doc to .rdl.

Hi Sonia, If i understand you correctly ..You have got the Report layout in a word Document and you want the same Layout in your Reports by doing a copy,paste and create RDL. Unfortunely that s not an option. you can Vote for a Suggestion. https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/FeedbackRakesh M J Dont forget to mark it as Answered if found useful MCTS,MCITP,MCSS http://mycubeandreports.blogspot.com/
