word wrap issues with report in Apex

User720285-OracleMay 4 2009 — edited Oct 8 2009
Real simple request here. All I would like to do is have a nice basic run-of-the-mill query using a standard report, but my problem is that one of the columns will have a paragraph or two worth of text and this is displaying as one really really long line in the report and it looks awful (see image below).

I think the most obvious solution will be to try and get the standard column to word wrap. I looked up on some other threads that recommended going to the specific report column and enter the following in the CSS style:

white-space:normal; width:50px;

Unfortunately that didn't work. Any ideas for me?

As you can see I also tried a 2nd solution by attempting to use a text area instead of a standard report column for one of the columns (the one marked in red on the left) and the limitation with that is you can't mark it read only. One would think APEX could come with some kind of "read only" check box to flag a text area as read only.

Thanks in advance!!
