I would like to know if it is possible to control the width of the text column below, so the column header will wrap. Then the entire column will be narrower, resulting in better use of limited space.
Thanks,
Edward

Hello Edward, 

Currently, this cannot be done with a default text field or reports.  I believe that they are coming out with new reports sometime in the near future that will allow for this type of functionality.  There are many ways to do this, but it seems that your best approach would be to use a Rich Text field and use HTML to set your column width.  This is covered extensively in the QB Community.  Here is a link to one that I think will achieve your goal.

The column heading should wrap if it needs to wrap to fit the columns on the page.
