	I have some column headers in my reports which I'd like to wrap to multiple lines. I tried F6 and put in carriage returns, but that didn't seem to work. What's the trick to this?

	Remember that Reports are using HTML code. Try using HTML <br> for a line break: Try a variation of this: Code Header = Miara Header Line 1 + "<br>" + Header Line 2 + "<br>" + Header Line 3.

	Thanks Bob! I also found that setting the column's width to a small figure forces the display to wrap as specified with the carriage returns specified in the F6 editor, with the adjusted size equaling the widest value contained in the column. I normally don't like to specify column widths because Sesame does a nice job of formatting the output, but in this case it works well.

Hello Bob, In 2.0 you will want to use @Newline() which will work with the Print Only reports and not just the HTML reports. -Ray
