The Name field (and all others) will take on the width of the widest  
string that needs to be displayed. If you look through the report  
you'll find at least one Name that fills its column.

I could add a parameter that, say, limits the width of any column to a  
percentage of the page width (in which case there will be some  
truncation). Would that work for you?
