Abstract:	Wrapping a column header over multiple lines is easy with the field wrap option

When a column header is too wide to fit 'nicely' above a report field, that column header can be printed over 2 or 3 lines.

The steps to do this are as follows:

1. Insert the full text of a column header as a text field. Column header text fields are automatically inserted for each database field in a report, if the report options are set correctly. Don't worry at this stage that the column headers overlap each other.
2. Focus on the column header to be wrapped by double clicking on it.
3. Select the Field option from the Format menu (or click the right mouse button and select the Change Format option). The Format String dialog box will pop up.
4. Tick the 'Print on Multiple Lines' options. If the header shouldn't warp over more than 2 lines, enter 2 in the 'Maximum number of lines' field.
5. Adjust the width of the column header. The text will automatically wrap over multiple lines when the width of the field is reduced.
