Formatting in Exported Reports

Hi. I have a matrix report that has very dynamic data attached to it,
specifically text that can vary in length from 5 characters to 100 or more.
I found the best solution for rendering was to keep the actual matrix row and
column widths to a minimum and let the matrix grow as required.
The problem I have run into is, when you export to Excel or PDF, it appears
the export uses these minimum column/row widths, and the report does not look
good and requires alot of formatting by hand (including another problem with
column headings I posted).
So my question is, is there any way to work around this or a best practices?
Any help would definitely be appreciated.Actually, this problem is only in Excel.

Formatting C# code, specifically curlys {}

1. For some reason, my Debug menu had many options missing. I found some
help that said go to Tools/Import & Export Settings and Choose Reset All. I
did it, and chose C# Developer and now my Debug menu is fully restored.
However, I did lose all of my other customzied settings, i.e. fonts, colors,
etc...
2. In my environment, before I did #1 above, when I keyed in two curly's
like this: {}, it would automatically move the ending curly to a new line
underneath. So, example:
I type this: {}
I get this after pressing enter:
{
}
For some reason, this no longer works.
3. I've changed settings in: Tools/Options/Text Editor/C#/Formatting.
Specifically the 'Automatically format completed block on }'. I'm not sure
if this is even the correct setting, but I tried anyway. I've also tried
the other settings in that screen and nothing happens.
Can someone advise if they've seen or fixed this problem? It worked for me
this morning, I reset my environment to get my Debug menu, and now it doesnt
work anymore.
Kind regards,
JrWhoops. Wrong group. Sorry.
