Exactly. If there were an RTF equivalent for Excel files, that might be a good choice. Maybe images embedded in the RTF document, but the entire report as an image doesn't strike me as a good choice. Another advantage to RTF (in addition to it being a text format) is that the user can then edit / add to the report - what a concept.
