The PrintOnFirstPage property can under some circumstances specify whether text in a page header page footer prints on the first page of a report. If the header or footer height is set in the report, Word cannot support this setting. If a report page number or an expression that indicates the total number of report pages appears in the page header or footer, they are translated to a Word field so that the accurate page number is displayed in the rendered report. Page headers and footers are rendered as header and footer regions in Word. The Word renderer writes the following metadata to the DOCX file.

The minimum width of the report is based on the RDL Width property in the Properties pane. When rendered, the report grows as wide as required, up to 22 inches, to display the contents. In these views, Word reduces the amount of whitespace, thereby displaying more of your report contents. To view the data, switch to normal view or Web layout view. If the report is wider than 22 inches, the renderer will still render the report however, Word will not display the report contents while in print layout view or reading layout view. Word supports page widths that are up to 22 inches wide. When the report is rendered, the Word page height and width are set by the following RDL properties: paper size height and width, left and right page margins, and the top and bottom page margins. This renderer supports only logical page breaks. You can try to change Word's pagination by adjusting the page margins. Repagination may cause page breaks to be inserted in locations where you did not intend to add them and, in some instances, may cause the exported report to have two successive page breaks in a row or add blank pages. PaginationĪfter the report is opened in Word, Word repaginates the entire report again based on the page size. Report body and page background images and colors are not rendered. Newsletter-style column reports are not rendered in Word. Maps and areas that can be clicked within a chart are not supported. Hyperlinks and drillthrough links on these report items are rendered. Images, charts, data bars, sparklines, maps, indicators, and gauges are each rendered as a static image within a table cell. The text box value is displayed inside the cell. Text boxes and rectangles are each rendered as a cell within the table. A tablix data region is rendered as a nested table that reflects the structure of the data region in the report. Reports exported to Word appear as a nested table that represents the report body. You can create and modify paginated report definition (.rdl) files in Microsoft Report Builder, Power BI Report Builder, and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools.
