Hi

Thanks for your request. It is not quite clear for me what you would like to achieve. Could you please clarify and attach sample documents if it is needed?
Would you like to exclude table from your document?
Best regards.

i attached an exported report. you’ll see that the claimant information + ad cc at the bottom for some reason are textboxes with borders, i can’t have this in the finished report.

Hi

Thank you for additional information. As I can see the bottom table has invisible borders. Borders are disabled by default in Aspose.Words. When you open the generated document using MS Word, you should select “Hide Gridlines” from “Table” menu. You cannot hide gridlines using Aspose.Words because “Table / Hide Gridlines” is option of MSWord.
Also, if I understand correctly, you are using Aspose.Words for Reporting Services. If so and if the problem still occurs, please attach your RDL report for testing. If you are using Aspose.Words for .NET, just attach the code you are using to generate this document.
Best regards.

well only some of the textboxes are showing “gridlines”, that’s what confuses me.

Gridlines are shown if there is a table. Did “Hide Gridlines” solve your problem?

Best regards.

hide gridlines did get rid of the borders in word. but i am not using tables for the areas that are getting borders anyway, why is it doing it in the first place? i use text boxes and still get the "gridlines

Hi

Thanks for your request. Could you please attach your RDL report for testing? Also maybe you should use positioned layout instead of flow layout.

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. You can find it here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config
Best regards.

one final question, do i restart the sql service after making changes to the config?

12

You should restart IIS after changing config file.

so even after all this, when i export my report, the textboxes are still exporting as tables once opened in word. even with gridlines disabled, sometimes there are gray lines in random places.

Please attach your RDL report for testing. We will investigate the issue and provide you more information.

Best regards.
