  Experts,

  I need help,

  on SQL 2012 SSRS report - after a report is downloaded as word format , updating a simple text inside the word document and saving it takes longer time than usual.

  why is it slower compare to a regular document written in Microsoft word.?

  thanks

  Just a guess, but maybe because the file SSRS outputs is likely an XML file, so it's converting Word to a real Word file when it saves?
