Sounds like your original report/file is too wide and you need to format the original report to be smaller. Changing the font size usually will not not help because the font information is not part of the flat ASCII report file.

Here are some possibilites:

(1) You must format the original report to be around 80 chars vs. the large 134 chars (maybe not what you want);

(2) You could convert the ASCII report file to another format that has formatting information, i.e. RTF, PDF, PS or some other format that has font size information and other formatting embedded in the file.

BTW: There are many kinds of freeware UNIX utilities to do this conversion. The conversion process has flags to add the formatting you need. I've even seen/used an crude ASCII to .DOC converter, but I think it was just a beta kludge.

This is an interesting question and I'm very interested to see the different approaches from other forum members. PxT, any ideas?
