SSRS Column Width growing, Text not wrapping
I am creating a report with SSRS, SQL Server 2008-R2. The report has a few matrices, each with the same number of columns, pulling data from different data sets, to give the appearance of a single table. When I render the report in VS, the columns look fine. Columns with long strings of text wrap the text, and the columns stay in alignment. This is the behavior I want from the report. However, when I run the report from a browser (IE or Firefox), the text does not wrap, and the column width expands to fit the text on a single line. This leaves the report with columns of different size, when they should be the same. Is there a way to force the text to wrap and prevent the column width from expanding? I tried the "Can Grow" property, but it looks like that applies only to height, not width.
Not sure if you found a solution, but I had the same issue and this older post solution (style sheets) worked for me.

Thanks - I'll take a look at that. So far, my solution is to have the user to dump the report to Excel, where it lines up and wraps just fine.
Sorry for the slow reply. Looks like that did what i needed! Thanks!
