	I have a report with about 25 columns. The report looks like a spreadsheet. Most of the columns only have a "Y" in them so the column width could be very small. However, the title for each column is keeping the width larger than necessary. In Excel, i would change the alignment so the words are vertical rather than horizontal. Can this be done in Sesame?

	Are you using HTML output? What browser? If the browser supports the Writing-Mode css property, you can use code like the following in Global Code Code ReportHTMLFilter("<FONT COLOR=""#000001"" FACE=""Arial"" STYLE=""FONT-SIZE:12pt", ";writing-mode: tb-rl;", 3) What this code does is it looks for every entry of Quote: <FONT COLOR="#000001" FACE="Arial" STYLE="FONT-SIZE:12pt in the resulting HTML and then makes it Quote: <FONT COLOR="#000001" FACE="Arial" STYLE="FONT-SIZE:12pt;writing-mode: tb-rl; which makes the text write from Top to Bottom from Right to Left. So for each one that you want to turn sideways, you just set the text color to 000001 -Ray

	Ray, How do I set the text color to 000001? The only way I know to change color is to select a color or modify the RGB settings.

	On the Color Tab, In Colors: choose Custom Set Red to 0 Set Green to 0 Set Blue to 1 That'll give you 000001. -Ray

	Ray, I've tried using the programming without success. I've tried using Firefox, Microsoft Explorer and Chrome. I put the programming in the Global Code for the report. Is that correct? What else might be wrong?

	Paul, Give me a call. I would need to see the source of the report to see what is happening. It could be something like a different font size or font face causing this issue. -Ray

	If you are looking for ways to minimize title width. You may want to try multi line titles if that is possible. This could change LARGE to L A R G E Just a thought.
