Error description

  • 223340
    When you re-generate a report in ReporterPLUS, the file type is
    sometimes not set properly on the Generate Document dialog.
    
    Here is one way to reproduce:
    
    Open a model in Rhapsody and choose
    Tools-?ReporterPLUS-?Create/Edit template with ReporterPLUS...
    Go through the wizard, selecting Microsoft Word Document as your
    file type
    Your file will be generated as a Word document with the
    RhapRepDot.dot MSWord template.
    
    Close the Word document and select Generate Report from either
    the toolbar or Edit menu.
    When the Generate Document dialog opens, the 'Save as type:'
    field is set to 'RTF File (*.rtf)' instead of 'Microsoft Word
    file (*.doc).
    
    If you don't notice this, the report will be generated and saved
    with your filename (?filename?.doc), but it will use the
    RhapRepRTFDot.dot template and the report can look VERY
    different when you open it in Word.
    

Local fix

  • Ensure that "Save as type:" field is set to the type that
    corresponds to the type of file you are saving.
