Hello all. I recently started working with Cognos FM and Report Studio, and managed to produce several reports. I now need to build a special report, which data is to be imported in MS Word through the use of the Cognos add-on for Microsoft Office. I managed to get some single objects to get imported correctly into Word, but having trouble with the following requirement, putting a repeater table (across value=1, Down value=3) holding a Text Item and a List, into my Word document. What I do get is the repeater table and the Text item, but not the List. So in the report it looks something like this:

<Full name no 1>
HeadingColumn1 HeadingColumn2 HeadingColumn3
Value 1                Value 2               Value 3
Value 1n              Value 2n             Value 3n

<Full name no 2>
HeadingColumn1 HeadingColumn2 HeadingColumn3
Value 1                Value 2               Value 3
Value 1x              Value 2x             Value 3x
Value 1y              Value 2y             Value 3y
Value 1n              Value 2n             Value 3n

and soforth

But what I get in Word is this:

<Full name no 1>
<Full name no 2>

Question1: is this behavior due to the limitations of the add-on package?
Question2: is there a way around this to get the same result but by using another solution?

We think we have an answer to the second question:
use a sectioned List...
