Customers want to be able to change the MSWord document by adding text in some specific places and other places they might choose themselves, without harming the original MSWord document.
Currently, it's challenging to change the MS Word export freely without changing the document structure because all the contents are positioned in a grid.
CS found a way to make the textField stretch and expand its cell size to avoid the extra text disappearing by adding the property: <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.docx.flexible.row.height" value="true"/>
but it only works when the textField is not inside a frame.
One another thing that customers want is to ability to set Headers and Footers as they do in MS Word; this will make them fixed to their positions even after adding extra texts after export. CS has customization to translate the jrxml headers and footers to MS Word headers and footers but it's not 100% reliable.
