Excel Output : Formatting Issue

Hi There, 

 

I have an excel called format in.xlsx and need to make some formatting updates....but when i put this excel through Table, Layout and Render tools I get header names trimmed...see orange below...e.g. Segment becomes Segmen and Region become Regio and data cells with no wrap text??

...I want all header names to keep their original name and then space out all columns so full header names and rows are easier to see....like format wanted.xlsx...any help would be great :)
