Crystal report (or SSRS) flowing text around image

Question

I want to have this layout in Crystal Reports:

How can I do this? If it cant be done in CR or SSRS, is there any other alternatives?

Answer 1

I don't believe this can be done with Crystal Reports. I'm not as familiar with SSRS, but after looking through the field options I don't believe it can be done with it either. In general field locations are set static in reporting solutions.

I think this would be best done with html/css or even XSL. I don't know the scope of the issue, but I'd assume that you should be able to output an html or xml file from your application which could be opened with a web browser. For html you should be able to use the align or even float attributes or text-align in css to accomplish this.

I hope this helps.
