can i have dynamic size of width of Detail section

[olitvinov]

I have a Detail section Flow direction set to: 'Across Then Down'.
And there are strings of data coming. One per row from the datasource.
If I had detail section width set dynamically to approcimate size of my string, then the output would look nicely( no big spaces and no cut offs)
for example:
original rows:
string1_alsdkfjal
string2_abcdefghkjlmnoprqstvuwxyz
string3_abcdefghkjlmnop
desired layout:

string1_alsdkfjal string2_abcdefghkjlmnoprqstvuwxyz string3_abcdefghkjlmnop

currently if I set width of Detail Section to a predetermined length I would get:

string1_alsdkfjal string2_abcdefghk string3_abcdefghk

where you see second and third string got truncated.

So the question is: Can I have these rows displayed with an even spacing between them flowing 'Across Then Down'.

Thanks,

I think the only thing you can do is increase the width to the maximum field width and reduce the gap, if necessary. If you can't fit three columns doing this, then maybe change to landscape mode.
