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.

==========================
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you want, James.  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.
