As an example, the column for sex (Label = "S") is set for 30.  The 
margins were originally whatever the default is.  I changed it to 1 and 
the text rolled up.  I'm only worried about the right and left of the 
header text.  The vertical orientation is fine.

With the header text "Room" and a column width of 58, the first couple 
of columns of pixels in the "R" are cutoff.  There is more than enough 
room in the header field, it's just adding space on either side.
