Using SAP Reporting with Microsoft Office

In SAP versions 4.6 and later, the integration between SAP and Microsoft Office gives you the capability to make a report's output look like a Microsoft Office document, in either Excel or Word. The Microsoft Office application runs as a control within the SAP R/3 environment. Virtually all R/3 functions are available on the worksheet of the Office application. If you are running a PC that has Microsoft Office applications and SAP R/3 installed, you can view report output via Microsoft. If Microsoft Office applications are not installed on your PC, the default report format, a normal list format, is used.
