Crystal Report export to .docx format

I'm trying to export a Crystal Report to .docx format but after a quick search through the web i found some relatively old sites where it was said that Crystal Reports doesn't support .docx but only .doc.

Is this still true?

Best regards, Rafael Valente

AFAIK Crystal Reports does not support docx, only doc to save. You can save a report to doc, and then convert it to docx format. - user784540
Hi. I will do that. This seems the best solution i have found. Thank you, Rafael Valente. - Rafael Valente
There is also a free command line tool called pandoc that can convert your doc to docx -- Not sure why you need docx though... Microsoft Word and LibreOffice should be able to .doc files just fine. - Sun
Hello @Sun, I need to convert from .doc to .docx just for storage purposes. Thank you for your reply. - Rafael Valente

Unfortunately the old boards are correct, you can't export to docx. To kind of get around this and get a workable view within Word I export as an HTML file that can be opened in Word then I resave it as docx.

What this does is gives me a better representation of the report as it is in Crystal. If I go doc and save as docx I get some weird anomalies.

I hope this helps. I would have wrote this as a comment however, I don't have enough reputation score to do that yet.
