Question
Word wrap in report definition column titles
I have a report definition with several columns. Instead of the titles on one line and the longer ones concatenated like this:
I'd like to see the longer names using word wrap like this:

But this didn't work for me. Has anyone else done this?
Hi Sibani, thanks for your reply. Yes, my requirement is specific to a report definition; I do want to wrap the column titles in a report in the report viewer. I cannot use a repeating grid in a section - I am using a report definition to display the data. Grids cannot be used in sections associated with report definitions.
My specific use case is as described in my post. I have a report that has long column title names but some of the data in the rows is not as long as the title names. I need to wrap the title names so that the report is easier to read. For example, here are 2 of the columns I need to display: Transcript Visible, CD Owner.
Instead of PRPC truncating "Transcript Visible" to "Trans" in the report like this:
Trans CD Owner
No Joe Smith
I would like to use "Trans Vsbl" and have it apear in a word wrapped fashion:
Trans
Vsbl CD Owner
No Joe Smith

Hi Salaz,
In repeating Grid,we have wrap text option that can be used for word wrap.
Is your requirement specific report definition?
Do you want to wrap the text in RD viewer?
Do you have any specific use case?
