I have tried wrap as well as squeeze and the active report seems to ignore the commands.

Hi Donald,

The standard technique is posted on Information Builders' techsupport site:
Column Wrap not working in Active Reports

This may be addressed in release 7.6.9.

Cheers,

Kerry

I know this is a really old post, but it still came up early in the results for me. The solution I found is that you have to change the TYPE for AHTML reports.

In other words, this works for Excel:
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=N5, WRAP=4, $


But in AHTML, to get it to wrap, you have to use TYPE=DATA:
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N5, WRAP=4, $


It's silly that this is the way it is, since it's completely non-intuitive, but it's a workaround.
