About this tag
The report layouts tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central document design, particularly the updated Word add-in used to build and maintain report templates. Threads here focus on practical layout work: header and footer samples for reusable report layouts, plus design controls for addresses, field groups, amounts, signature lines, and notes. Coverage tracks Microsoft roadmap items such as 573328 and 573331, including launch status, general availability timing, and worldwide standard multi-tenant cloud availability. The emphasis is document formatting and template reuse rather than business logic, aimed at teams that maintain customer-facing invoices, quotes, and order documents.
