  Hello friends,

  I am having one report which is having many graphs and data table. If some one will look into it then it might happen that people dont understand how it works etc. I need to add some comments/notes at bottom of the page. It should be something like word where i can put bullet points and other formating.

  I can use textbox but it doesnt much formating option. Any other way to add comments?

  Thank you very much.

  Rich text formatting is not supported in SSRS 2005, you could try using an icon embedded as an image in the document and then use that to the left of a text box, it's a pretty messy workaround but it will work.

  SSRS 2008 introduces rich text formatting, so you might want to consider moving to that version if this is important for you.

  It does seem a shame that Microsoft has not seen fit to provide the basic functionality of including a word document into reports, this was very easy in Crystal Reports!!

  Good luck.
