Hello Peter,

The problem is that Word 97 predates CSS, cascading style sheets, which are used in the HTML reports that Sesame creates.
It appears that Word will handle only so many SYTLE tags before it says the document is corrupt. It has nothing to do with the data in the records as once I removed all the STYLE tags I was able to open it in Word 97 with no problem.

Thanks Ray,
After you asked what version of Word and Windows I was using I tried printing the reports from my partner's computer which uses Windows XP and a much more recent version of Word. Everything worked perfectly there. Now, do I just upgrade my version of Word or do I try and remove those CSS tags as you mentioned until I am in possession of my new laptop??

Hello Peter,

If you remove the style tags in the one report that you sent me you will be left with a report that has only one font size. To remove them the easiest thing to do would be to Right click the HTMl file in IE and go down to view source. In Notepad you can search for STYLE="FONT-SIZE:11pt" and replace it with nothing. You would also need to do the same for 12 pt and 24 pt.

If you have a newer version of word lying around go ahead and install it but if you do not just wait until your laptop comes in.
