In .NET 2003 these properties aren't available via the ReportDocument object model. I haven't researched the CR.NET 2005 classes to see if you can in the lastest version, but I doubt if it lets you get that granular.
If you check out the Crystal Reports Developer edition, that offers more granularity. They have a 30 day trial version you can download and experiment with it to see what it offers.

Hmm, I have an idea that I haven't tried before. But if you have a limited number of changes to make to the column formatting, then create different sections and each has its own formatting. Then you can turn off the sections you don't want via your program using the object model. However, if you have a lot of variations then this wouldn't be practical.

Thanks for the reply Brian!
However, I don't think it would be practical, as I am writing a mailing label wizard, where the user can selected from a list of already defined labels (Avery type etc) or they can specify their own. So not practical - good idea though!
