Is it possible to set the column width for excel ouput within the WF Stylesheet? I have searched the WF 5.2 manual, WF 7.0 manual and FocalPoint on how to do this and I can't find anything on setting column widths for excel within the WF Stylesheet.

WF 7.1.4, HP-UX


WF 7.7.05

what version of excel are you using ? - I believe formating don't work on excel97 and lower so column widths are adjusted automatically to field's format length(size).
excel2k supports formating.

I'm using 7.1.4 -- I found what I needed -- it's the wrap command.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I believe that WRAP and setting a numeric value for the SQUEEZE option on a COLUMN style will help. The information I found is in my printed versions of 5.2, (chapter 8) of WebFOCUS so I'm sure it is still valid.
