Hi,
This is what I read in the help file for EXL07

Within each generated worksheet, the columns in the report are automatically sized to fit the largest value in the column. WebFOCUS calculates the width of each data column based on the font and size requirement of all cells in that column using font metrics developed for other styled formats, including PDF and DHTML. Calculations are based on the data and title elements of the report. Heading and footing elements are not used in the sizing calculation and will be sized based on the data column requirements.

So looks like if you want to increase the column width you have to do it on data rather than the header.
