Snapshot viewer

[Stephanie]

Hello. I just loaded the Microsoft Snapshot viewer and exported a report as
a snapshot format. The report looks great! I feel stupid asking this, but
once I have the report as a snapshot, can it be published on our website and
how? Luckily we have a webmaster, but this is new territory. Appreciate a
how-to. Thanks.

The snapshot report is just another file, this time with an extension of
..snp. Put it on the website the same as, say, a PDF file.

Note that each user will have to have the Snapshot Viewer installed in order
to view the file.

Thanks for the tip.
I have used Stephen Lebans' utility that embeds the output of Snapshot
Format inside an RTF file so that it can be viewed with any Word processor
that handles RTF files. Wow! It works well. Now I just need to refine my
report using the rectangle tool. I used it for vertical lines, now I'll have
to figure it out for horizontal lines.

With limited experience- I believe RTF files can be posted on our website
and viewed by any word processor. True?

Thanks for the post- I appreciate your help!

It's not that unusual to have RTF files on a website.

However, whether or not your website supports them is something I'm unable
to confirm.
