sql server reporting services:
I want to build a report that would resemble a Word document. This report
would have a bold header and in the body of the report have a variety of
formatted text (bold, underline, italic, and different size fonts). There may
be differents formats on the same line.

I only see one way to do this and that is with the Textbox control. In this
report I would have to have a lot of Textbox controls in the layout to
generate one report page!

What other way can I accomplish this? Are there third party SQL Reporting

Do you mean paragraphs of information with certain words bolded, for
example? That would be difficult, since there isn't a rich text control
yet.

If you mean to have simply repeating headers and paragraphs, similar to Word
headings, then that would be relatively easy using a list control or table
control.

I mean paragraphs of information and the need for a rich text control.

Can third party controls be installed in SQL Reporting Services? Are there
any third party controls? Is there any information on developing custom
controls?

Third-party controls aren't supported yet, but I think they will in a future
release.
