Creating a report in Business Central

Because our Business Central report layouts will all be developed in Microsoft Word, our familiarity with Visual Studio Code will only get us part way to having Business Central report development expertise. We've covered most of the basics of the Visual Studio Code part of Business Central report development. Now, we need to dig into the Microsoft Word part. If you are already a Microsoft Word expert, you won't need to spend much time on this part of the book. If you know little or nothing about the Microsoft Word layout tools, you will need to experiment and practice.
