ODS PDF - text is running past cell borders

If text runs past a cell border in ODS PDF what options are there to force it to remain within the border lines?

What do you want to happen in that case? Do you want it to wrap? Truncate?

In what output? Proc Report or some other procedure tables? Graph? ODS Text?

Code and output example might help having to ask a bazillion detail questions one at a time.

Might need to include the ODS PDF statement as well to see the options used.

It is wrapping already but the text runs past the borders on several lines in the same cell. This is a straight data dump from a dataset to proc report.

options orientation = landscape topmargin = 0.3in bottommargin= 0.3in leftmargin = 0.3in rightmargin = 0.3in printerpath = pdf;
ods pdf file = ".\Documents\Reports\Listings.pdf" style= Style01 pdftoc = 1 contents = no ;

Proc report - straight data dump with no computations, no call defines, no across no groupings just a dump. Some ODS proc label statements for the bookmarks. Every variable in every listing is DISPLAY.

Hi:

If you cannot show your data or a sample of your data and ALL of your code, it is very hard for anyone to make constructive suggestions. I have never seen output in ODS PDF go past the border of a cell. I also notice that you're using your own STYLE template. A custom style template can also impact your PDF output. Even with a custom style, I've not seen text go past the border of a cell, so this might be something you need to work on with Tech Support because they can look at ALL your data and ALL your code including your STYLE template and ALL your PROC REPORT code and try to figure out what your issue might be. First, they will try to duplicate your results. And if they observe the same results, then they will figure out whether you have discovered a defect or whether there is something wrong in your code or template.
