Crystal Report exported to word (.RTF format) can't be open after Microsoft released security warning "Microsoft Word Could Allow Remote Code Execution"

Hi All,

Microsoft has recently released security vulnerability "Microsoft Word Could Allow Remote Code Execution", and suggested blocking .RTF files on the mcahine. For this they have provided security patch, after installing this patch we won't be able to open any word files with .RTF extension

Now the issue is with the Crystal Report export functionality, we have many reports developed in CR XI, which are exported to Word document (.rtf format). Since we have executed Microsoft patch, we are unable to open this document (.rtf format files) on our machine.

Is there a way in Crystal Report to export report in .DOC/.DOCX format instead of .RTF (which is defaulted by CR)? or any workaround to tackle above

issue...

Thanks,

Sajid
