A different approach for WHAT? I'm still not sure what you are trying to do .... How much text is in the label? If it's a lot of text and it's showing up on one line, then you can turn on wrap text and set the column width to a narrower width. Other than that, until I know more of what you are trying to do, I'm not sure how to suggest anything else. Bottom line is you can't have different widths for different cells within a column, so your choices are limited, unless you leave the label cell empty and just put a text box there instead. Linda F.

But if you just want the label to fit into a narrower column, you can change the orientation for that label to 90 degrees or something. ========================== Ok. That is a good approach. Hadn't considered that. Thank you. I'd be curious if anyone else has taken a different approach. James S.
