To Export crystal Reports to Word Excel or other formats we need to change below mentioned line of code to desired format.

For MS WORD

pdfReport.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.WordForWindows, Response, true, "Employees");

Where Employees is the name of file you want to be created.

For MS Excel

pdfReport.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.Excel, Response, true, "Employees");
