Images, charts, data bars, sparklines, maps, indicators, and gauges are each rendered as a static image within a table cell. The text box value is displayed inside the cell. Text boxes and rectangles are each rendered as a cell within the table. A tablix data region is rendered as a nested table that reflects the structure of the data region in the report. Reports exported to Word appear as a nested table that represents the report body.
