Hi, we need to display around 13 input parameters in Subhead in PDF report. the report has 3 columns so the data in sub head should get wrapped in multiple lines depending on reprot table size, but it is displaying in a single line and getting truncated depending on page size. Is there any work around to display input parameters automatically in multiple lines in sub head in pdf format. thanks

For PDF, WRAP only works for fields not text, so I computed the heading as a field.

To illustrate the different behaviour, I left the subheading as text.

Thanks Francis,

We (at a previous site) were waiting for 7.6.11 so that we could WRAP SUBHEADings... No more need to wait... Oh, wait a minute, we're getting 7.6.11...
