table width of LabVIEW report

Running the LabVIEW example program

Sample Test Report.vi

on different PC (destops or laptops) to print table on the same printer will get different table widths of LabVIEW report. Could sb. help me? Thanks!

I want to set each column's width of the table in LabVIEW report. I changed the followings VIs

Append Text Table to Report.vi
Set Table Column Width.vi

to input an arrary of all columns' widths.

But the problem is that using different PC (destops or laptops) to print the same table with the same code will also give different column widths. Even the sum of all columns' widths, left margin and right margin is less than the width of A4 paper. I use Centimeter measure system. Could sb. help me? Thanks!

If you are creating an HTML report, different resolutions of different monitors may change the appearance of the column widths. Other than that, have you taken a look at the help file for the Append Table to Report.vi? You can specify the measurement system, but the default is inches.

I use Standard report and centimeters system.

"Sample Test Report.vi" is a LabVIEW example program. You can find it in the LabVIEW example programs.

Even run this program on different PCs to print the report table on the same printer, still get different table widths.

I ran the program on two different computers printing from the same printer and didn't see the problem you are experiencing. Is there a difference in operating system between the computers or a difference in the version of Word or Excel?
