[Release Notes](https://help.comtrac.com.au/release-notes?hsLang=en) # August 2025 Release Notes: Here’s what’s new in Comtrac this August! ## Word Formal Report is Here!! **Online User Guides Access**: If you can't access any of the Online User Guide links below, please see this article for more information - [Accessing our Online User Guides](https://help.comtrac.com.au/access-the-comtrac-academy?hsLang=en) **Please Note: **Any case-related information below is purely fictitious and for training purposes only. ### **New Feature: Export Formal Reports as Word Documents** We’re excited to introduce a new export option for Formal Reports: **Microsoft Word (.docx)** format. This enhancement adds to the existing export options (HTML and PDF), giving users greater flexibility in how they share and collaborate on formal documentation within **Comtrac.** #### **Key Benefit of Word Format?** The Word document format is ideal for teams that: • Need to **customise** report content after generation. • Want to **add comments or track changes** collaboratively. • Prefer a more editable format for internal or stakeholder review. #### **Key Functionality:** • **Table of Contents with Section Links:** Quickly jump to any section with a single click. **• Clickable Hyperlinks:** Embedded exhibit links remain active and accessible. **• Statement Handling:** Witness statements and other statement documents are embedded as images. These remain **non-editable** to preserve source integrity. **• Edit-Friendly:** You can freely edit all standard text fields within the report—except for exhibits (rendered as images). #### **How to Export a Formal Report in Word:** 1\. Navigate to **Incidents** 2\. Select **Incidents (Purple Ribbon)** 3\. Open the relevant **Assigned Case** 4\. Go to the **Case Reports** tab, then choose **Formal Reports** 5\. Click **Export** beside your report 6\. Select the **Word icon** to generate your .docx version **Note:** Make sure the Formal Report has already been created or generated before attempting to export **You can find a more detailed guide around generating formal report within Comtrac here -** [Create Automated Formal Report](https://help.comtrac.com.au/create-a-formal-report?hsLang=en) -
