if you do not want to edit your table after creating report you can use
Append Control Image to Report VI
and create image of your table inside your report

It is always a good idea to post some code (meaning a VI) when asking a question.  You describe a "table" -- what, exactly, is this?  How does it have color?  Having some code (and possibly some data, so we can see what you mean) would help us make helpful suggestions.

I've not used Word reports, but I have used HTML and Excel Report.  In Excel, I know how to color rows, columns, or cells.  I think there may be similar "format" settings for Word and HTML (a search of the Functions for the Report Generation Toolkit, assuming you have that available, suggests that you can set Font Color selectively in Word, same as in Excel).

So if you have the RGT, just use the existing Format functions for Word (or Excel).

Hi Hatef.fouladi,

             Thanks for quick reply, Append Control Image to Report.vi is only convert visible area of table, but I need full table's data. My table have minimum 100 rows . so this vi is not work for my task . I tried this vi also, I got only visible area. So give any other suggestion.

Thanks in advance

I tried insert my vi but I cant so  I attached images.

as I know the only vi in report generation that is relate to table color is Excel Set Cell Color and Border if it is possible for you to use that it could helpful but I have doubt that It could help you
also as other easy way to do for my next suggest is use some tables indicator attach to same data each of them cover part of your data for example if you have 100 row you can use 5 table with 20 row and hide all these 5 table behind the main table and then use Append Control Image to Report VI . I know that this method code look a bit nasty code but I think it work and it is easy to use too

I suspect you have "Attach" and "Insert" confused.  You inserted your Image.  I want you to attach your VI.  Do you see the little button that says "Attachments", and "Choose File" in the image I have inserted below?  When you reply, click the Choose File button and go click on your VI to attach it to your reply.

Don't feel bad -- it took me a few months when I started using the Forum to figure out Attachments and Insertions (someone pointed out to me where the buttons were located).

Hi Hatef.fouladi,

          Spilt the table is one of the good idea. But lookwise this is not a good one. so first I need direct printing with colour cell if it not possible let I consider split the row and print it.

Thanks
