Sample 38701: How to force the cell text to wrap when using the ExcelXP tagset
The default behavior is for cell text not to wrap when generating output using the ExcelXP tagset. If you are using at least Version 1.70 of the tagset, you can use the AUTOFIT_HEIGHT= tagset option to force the text to wrap. The AUTOFIT_HEIGHT= option must be specified in conjunction with setting the column width to force the cell text to wrap once the specified width has been reached.
The column widths can be set using the ABSOLUTE_COLUMN_WIDTH= tagset option or with the CELLWIDTH= style attribute.
Please see the code in the Full Code tab for an example.
