From your description, the file is created as a Word MailMerge, perhaps? If so, the report isn't "stored" anywhere until you create it.

If you want to edit the format, you must open the Word MailMerge template file. If you want to edit the data, that is in the tables that feed the MailMerge.

Or did I mis-read your situation?

The other alternative is to select (but not open) the report and click on the toolbar item that says "Analyze it with Word." That will create a .RTF document that Word could edit for you.
