Does Reporting Services support this?

Hi. I'm a newbie to Reporting Services and have a few questions about it,
Does Reporting Services 2005 support export to PDF? How about Word and Excel?Is it possible to group items on a report, and have comments displayed for rows that have them, as a line indented below the main row? Here's an example, My Report
Northeast Region
Smith, Jane 2/15/2006 1211156
Comments: Jane wants to attend the next regional meeting.
Smith, Joe 1/11/2006 1194833

Southeast Region
Thomas, Helen 11/12/2005 9938672

Thank you.

1. Reporting services natively supports export to pdf and excel, not to word

2. Yes you can group items like you have listed above using drill down techniques and a well structured query...

Thank you, Josh :)

I'm sold on SSRS -- just trying to get the folks in my department on board. They've used a product called Cognos, and their users hate -- plus it costs a bundle of money to buy and maintain. Our server support folks have it ready for our testing, just need to convince the folks here this is a solid, robust solution for reporting. Thanks again.
