Follow the instructions below to import an MS Word file into a Crystal Report:
1) Make a new Crystal report.
2) From the Insert menu, click OLE object.
3) Click Create from file.
4) Click Browse and open the Word document.

Hi Jonn,
Alternatively you can also export your crystal report into a Microsoft document. There are basically two ways to do that. One is to do it manually and another is to do it automatically which would need some programming skills of the VB language in crystal report. Following is the code that you can try for automatic export of your CR.
 ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
           cryRpt.Load(@"CrystalReport1.rpt");//please change location of the crystal report fileÂ
           Â
           try
           {
               ExportOptions CrExportOptions;
               DiskFileDestinationOptions CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
               PdfRtfWordFormatOptions CrFormatTypeOptions = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions();
               CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "c:\crystal.doc";
               CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions;
               {
                   CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                   CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.WordForWindows;
                   CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;
                   CrExportOptions.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions;
               }
               cryRpt.Export();
           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
             //Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
You can also export it manually. For exporting just go to File->Export and then choose an MS word from the drop down box.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Baker
