Thank you, John W. I figured this feature was more of the norm than not amongst leading reporting writing softwares. The construction accounting software package we use, Sage Timberline, has a report designer module which enables you to do just that. Adding columns will decrease the font size once the default column width has been consumed. Turning to landscape and introducing legal size certainly helps maintain visual integrity. Sometimes, however, after the font size becomes microscopic, a design needs to be rethought!
So, time to CPA (cut, paste, and assemble)!
