SSRS - add a "Justify" option for Horizontal/TextAlign property in Text Boxes

SSRS - export to Word - Column widths in tables do not respect the defined widths
There are a couple of scenarios where column widths are not respected when exporting to Word. The most common is where a nested table has a column with "narrow" content - the column width sometimes shrinks to contents. The other is when a column contains a long word with no spaces or brea...
SSRS - export to Word - control the font for the "Normal" style (not Times New Roman)

Timeline slicer - add Decade level
