Collaborative Editing Made Easy: Exploring Online Word Editors for Microsoft

In today’s digital age, collaboration is key to success in any project or task. Whether you’re working on a presentation, a report, or even a simple document, having the ability to collaborate seamlessly with others is crucial. Microsoft Word has long been the go-to word processing software for many professionals and students alike. However, with the rise of online tools and the need for remote collaboration, online word editors for Microsoft have gained popularity. In this article, we’ll explore some of the best online word editors available and how they can enhance your collaborative editing experience.

Google Docs: The Powerhouse of Collaboration

When it comes to online word editors, Google Docs stands out as a powerhouse of collaboration. With its intuitive interface and real-time editing capabilities, Google Docs allows multiple users to work on a document simultaneously. Users can see changes made by others in real-time and even leave comments and suggestions directly within the document. Additionally, Google Docs automatically saves changes as you type, ensuring that no work is lost even in case of unexpected disruptions.

One of the major advantages of using Google Docs as an online word editor for Microsoft is its compatibility with various file formats. You can easily import your existing Word documents into Google Docs without any formatting issues. Furthermore, you can export your finished work back to Word format if needed.

Office Online: The Familiarity of Microsoft

For those who prefer sticking to familiar interfaces and functionalities but still want the convenience of online collaboration, Office Online is an excellent choice. Developed by Microsoft itself, Office Online offers web-based versions of popular applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more.

With Office Online’s online word editor for Microsoft Word specifically, users can access their documents from anywhere with an internet connection. It provides many features similar to its desktop counterpart while also enabling real-time co-authoring and sharing options. Users can invite others to collaborate on a document and work together seamlessly, just like they would in the desktop version of Microsoft Word.

Zoho Writer: Feature-Rich and User-Friendly

Zoho Writer is another online word editor for Microsoft that deserves recognition for its feature-rich environment and user-friendly interface. Apart from the standard word processing features, Zoho Writer offers some unique functionalities that enhance collaboration.

One notable feature of Zoho Writer is the ability to integrate with cloud storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox. This means you can access your files directly from these storage platforms within Zoho Writer, without the hassle of downloading and uploading documents manually. Additionally, Zoho Writer offers robust sharing options, allowing you to control access permissions for collaborators.

OnlyOffice: All-in-One Collaboration Suite

Last but not least, OnlyOffice is an online word editor that goes beyond just document editing. It is a comprehensive collaboration suite that includes document editing, spreadsheets, presentations, project management tools, and more.

With OnlyOffice’s online word editor for Microsoft Word documents, users can collaborate in real-time while enjoying advanced formatting options and track changes functionalities.

Analysis Services and Reporting Services extensions for Visual Studio 2022 are here!

Leslie Richardson

July 12th, 2022 17 2

We’re happy to announce the popular and long-awaited Analysis Services , RDLC Report Designer , and Reporting Services extensions are available for Visual Studio 2022!  Here’s how these Microsoft extensions for SQL Server can further enhance your business intelligence solution development environment.

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)

The Microsoft Analysis Services extension adds project templates and design tools to easily create tabular and multidimensional data models in SQL Server Analysis Services, Microsoft Azure Services, and Power BI.  These data model projects can also be integrated with source control repository providers such as Team Foundation Server.

SQL Server Reporting Services Projects (SSRS)

The Reporting Services Projects extension provides a report definition (*.rdl) designer, projects (*.rptproj), and wizards for creating professional reports for Microsoft Reporting Services.  The designer lets you modify, preview, and deploy report definitions and datasets within Visual Studio.

RDLC Report Designer

To display SQL Server Reporting Services reports in WebForms and WinForms applications, Report Definition Language Client-Side (RDLC) files are used by Visual Studio Report Viewer controls. The RDLC Report Designer extension allows you to present database displays in Visual Basic and .NET with the provided new projects definitions and adds tools to create and manage RDLC reports within Visual Studio.

Continued Extension Development

Work for the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) extension in Visual Studio 2022 is on the roadmap for a future release.  For more information about the progress, you can check the Visual Studio Developer Community .  Please let us know in the comments of other important extensions you’d like to see in Visual Studio 2022!

Excellent, many thanks! By the way I agree with Mr. Minh comment below it is for a long time missing the Report Viewer for .net 6 and it is very important tool to integrate SQL Server in Visual Studio.

Can you point me to the place I can request a feature/enhancement for the reporting services project type? I would love to be able to host my reports in a single project even though the reports are stored in separate folder paths on the server. Instead, I need a separate project for each folder as it exists in the service. This restricts the use of shared data sources and data sets functionality to a single folder unless you leave the Visual Studio bubble.

It looks like both of those links are for the most recent preview release candidate version’s (3.01 & 3.03), released on 7/5 & 7/7. Is this the most recent release?

How about report viewer for .net 5 or 6 is on the way?

This is a good question. The community has been repeatedly told these report viewer controls would not be updated to support “modern .net” versions, and so could only conclude RDLC reports have no future in .net. This news seems to run contrary to that.

I was wondering the same thing. SSRS reports are the main thing that’s preventing me from migrating from .NET Framework to .NET.

There’s actually a community project on GitHub where they’ve managed to port the RDLC viewer controls to .NET despite them not having access to the original source code. Surely if a few individuals can do this in their spare time, it shouldn’t be beyond the wit of Microsoft to do an official port themselves.

Here’s the response from the Power BI Report Viewer team:

“With the introduction of new, cross-platform options starting with .NET Core in 2016, we’re focusing our investments on new capabilities in Microsoft Power BI” https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/how-to-integrate-power-bi-reporting-into-net-apps/

This is one of the biggest issues with Microsoft tools.

They release a new product, promote it as the ‘it’ technology for that need, support it for a while then fade away and quietly let it grow further and further out of date. Finally, after many complaints and inquiries about the tool, they tell us there is a new ‘it’ technology that replaces that tool and all the changes/updates promised for the old ‘it’ technology no longer apply.

Meanwhile we are out here taking more and more hits from our management and users because supporting the ‘it’ technology gets harder and harder and finally the only response Microsoft leaves us is we have to replace the tool with the new ‘it’ tool and rewrite large sections of code/reports/etc… Management is rarely amused by this and blames us, not Microsoft, when we try to explain why we suddenly have this new technical debt when we should be solving the latest business process change.

Now the usual comments about ‘technology changes and you have to keep up’ sound great until you are trying to support dozens of theses issues for various Microsoft products on a monolithic code base that goes back decades.

The old meme of ‘Nobody ever got fired for recommending Microsoft’ no longer applies. So now we look for equivalent open source options and make sure we can build their project so that if it is abandoned we can at least support ourselves.

I agree. Microsoft does a VERY poor job in this area. They promise the sun, moon, and stars, only to deliver the 1/2 of the sun, 1/4 of the moon, and no stars. PITIFUL management. I moved to VS 2022 because I wanted to use a product that was fully 64 bit to design software. I utilize SSIS a great deal and have used it in VS 2019, which is woefully slow to load and develop with. However, I find SSIS is NOT in VS 2022 and it is NOWHERE to be found on Microsoft’s development schedule. Additionally, SSIS does not with .NET 6 or higher. THAT is pitiful to say the least. They can’t even find time to add SQLCLR capabilities to .NET Core, and THAT is a also a critical piece to my software development efforts! I love VS as a whole, but Microsoft is SO SLOW on the draw I have started wondering WHY I ever moved to VS from Embarcadero and Delphi!

Why it has to be so difficult? if you release something new it has to be integrated from bottom up. One peace this way another peace that way and if you are confused there is migration tool. Can we have a reporting platform which is capable of creating report and displaying it in easy matter? if MS wants us to use .net i think basics should be compatible and working.

RDLC Report Designer is working but Report viewer is Not working in dotnet 6.0 winform application even with the latest “Install-Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms -Version 150.1484.0” and latest Microsoft.SqlServer.Types 14.0.1016.290. Error occurs while drag and drop the ReportViewer (Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms) in Windows Form in Dotntet 6.0 winform application. We urgently need to enable reportviewer control found the visual studio tools of Visual Studio community 2022 works in dotnet 6.0 winform application.

At last!!! Great news! 🙂

This is great but any updates on SQL Server Integration Projects (SSIS) being supported in VS 2022 anytime soon?

Great question. Probably not but a great question. For now, I’ll keep using VS2019 I guess.

I am using this new version however when I view a table in the import it does not show all the tables columns, I have 2 columns at the end, one an int the other a bigint which are not showing up. I have tried deleting and recreating the DB connection but it still does not show up.

Any chance SSAS Tabular Cubes will support the 1550 compatibility level any time soon (lineage tag incompatibility is a real drag)? Also, would love to see the BISM Normalizer extension available in 2022. Thanks!

SSRS in Visual Studio

Daniel Calbimonte , 2022-04-06

Where are the SSRS Projects in Visual Studio?

Where is SSRS in Visual Studio 2019? Traditionally, you need to install the SSDT and check SSRS to have it installed. However, things have changed in SSRS over the years. This article explains how to install SSRS in VS 2019.

To understand what happened with SSRS, I will tell you an old history about SSRS.

SSRS old history

An old Indian from my country. He was 123 years old.

A long, looooong time ago, the SQL Server installer included an option to install the BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) including Reporting Services. In SQL Server 2012, the BIDS were named SSDT. The SSDT used the version of Visual Studio. It was a VS extension to handle projects like SQL Server Projects, SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS projects.

In SQL 2014 you had to install SSDT from the website and it was no longer in the SQL Server installer. There were SSDT versions for VS 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017 . And then in VS 2019 the SSDT did not include an installer for SSRS. So that is why we have this article. To help you to install the extension for Visual Studio 2019.

At the time this article was written, there was no SSRS extension available for VS 2022.

The Official Microsoft response

We determined that your valuable suggestion has a broad community impact and will improve the product experience. Also, we have added the feature to our roadmap and will keep you updated as we make progress. We highly appreciate your contribution to making our product better.

Getting started with SSRS in Visual Studio

First of all, I am assuming that you already have Visual Studio 2019 . Secondly, in the Windows Search, look for the Visual Studio Installer and open it.

Thirdly, look for the Data Storage and processing workload and check SQL Server Data Tools .

Once installed you will notice that you don’t have Reporting Service, Analysis Service, and Integration Services projects.

Why it is getting more difficult to install?

The humble opinion of this writer is that Microsoft wants us to move to Azure technologies like Synapse, Power BI, Azure Data Factory. However, in general, we can say that Microsoft tries to handle VS extension as separated projects in a generic way. I mean, all the extensions should be installed in a standard way.

Installing SSRS Projects in Visual Studio

In order to create your SSRS projects, you will need to go to extensions in the VS menu. Secondly, go to Extensions>Manage Extensions

Thirdly, in the search textbox, search for Reporting . You will see Microsoft Reporting Services Projects. Check the reporting services to install it.

Testing the installation

Firstly, in Visual Studio, go to File>New>Project

Secondly, if you are using it for the first time and you have several types of projects installed, search for reports and you will see 2 options.

• The Report Server Project Wizard is the easiest way for newbies to create a report from scratch without too much knowledge in SSRS.
• Report Server Project is used if you have some experience creating reports to create your own report. You could invoke the Wizard here if you need to.

Finally, specify a Report name and a location.

SQL Server Reporting Services is in SQL Server, but the Projects in Visual Studio are extensions. In order to install the extension, you need to install the SSDT first with the Visual Studio Installer, and then in the Visual Studio go to Extensions to install the SSRS extension.

P.D. The Analysis Services projects and Integration Services projects have a similar approach. You need to install them separately.
