Installation of OracleReports: OracleReports is an add-in to MS Word. To install it, you must be able to add files to your set-up of the MS Word program (that is, have "read/ write" access to the program's start up directory). This is always the case when your copy of MS Word is installed on your computer's hard drive. If your MS Word is installed on a networked server, please ask your network staff to assist you in the installation.  NOTE:  Oracle report macros are not supported for Mac.

To install OracleReports, please do the following:

  1. Verify the presence of MS Word; make sure that the software is correctly installed and functioning.
  2. Save the OracleReports file (MS Word - Oracle Format.dot) to the MS Word starting directory.
    For Example: C:\Users\SIU85XXXXXXX\AppData\RoamingMicrosoft\Word\STARTUP
    Note: Insert your dawg tag in place of the SIU85XXXXXXX
