Issue with multi colums in the details section

[WCL01]

I currently came up with a report that due to its massive amount of data decided to use the option to have multiple colums in the details section. This part worked great however it also shrinks all your headers down to the same size. This wouldn't be a problem if the information in the details section wasn't 10 characters and the information in the group headers wasn't like 50 characters long. The grouping I'm using will have about 150 or so seperate sections all split to another page when it changes.

Is there any way to get around the short group headers so I can actually display the full group header without it getting cut off?

Hi WCL01,

Have you selected 'Format Groups with Multiple Column' option in the Selection Expert under the Layout Tab.

Would removing this help - if not what about formatting with Can Grow to at least allow word wrapping.

I have actually figured a way around it already. Yes I have the multiple columns selected to save on room and that was the problem. I didn't want to get rid of it or the report for just one group would have grown from 11 pages to 55 pages with a lot of blank empty spake. The can grow probably wouldn't have worked because some of the words are just to long to fit in the box on their own. What I did was put it in the page header and had it do a new page on change of group so it was fine that way.
