Designing and delivering SQL Server Reporting Services reports (RDL files) has become easier with SoftArtisans OfficeWriter v3.5.

Users can now design and deliver their RDL files inside Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word through the OfficeWriter Designer, a distributed client-side toolbar that's integrated in your Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. You can disperse the toolbar among all your users, and once it's deployed, anyone can create and publish reports directly to the Reporting Services server without leaving Microsoft Office. The toolbar lets you query a data source and add merge fields and repeat blocks.

Once you've designed your report, you can save it to your hard drive, view it instantly, or publish it to the server for distribution.

A free trial version of OfficeWriter 3.5 is available.
