Column width setting
Indicate how the width of a column should be determined for subreports:
Autofit: the column width is determined by the text width. If the width of the text exceeds the available space, the column will be adjusted to the maximum available space.
Fixed column: the text width is fixed. If the width of the columns exceeds the available space, the text will be hidden.
This setting is only available for report type mail merge (and for document type doc, docx, ttf).
