Printing Infinite # of Columns in Append Table to Report

Question

I am in need of a bit of help here in regards to dealing with the Append Table to Report.vi
With this VI I can print up to a certain # of columns before the VI starts to wrap columns (& subsequent data under each column) downward in vertical manner.
I am looking for a way to do the following:
1) center the text in all columns
2) set a pre-set # of columns per page, and then print the remaining columns to a separate page thereafter
3) avoid column header & data from being folded beneath to the subsequent row
See the attached code and print-outs.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Using the "Append Table to Report" VI, you can't specify center alignment, through if you enable gridlines, it makes the tables more readable.  If you were to generate an Excel report, you would have more control and be able to specify cell alignment.
In the Report Generation Toolkit, using Standard Report, there is no way to get or automatically print the page number.  You can do it manually by keeping track of how many pages have been printed if your using the "New Report Page" VI.  
Using the VI script you posted, I modified it to illustrate how to selectively add columns to the report.  Its usually not standard practice for us to write code for customers, but this example seemed good for the Community Example Page (http://www.ni.com/code/), and with your permission I'd like to post it there as well.
