How can I format column settings in Access designview to "Wrap"

[Column Title Wrap]

In database designview I would like to format the column headings to wrap.
This will allow more efficient use particularly when designing/printing
reports where the title is longer than the record entry.

You would do this in your reports (since you mention printing) not in the
table design. Once you get your database built, you should rarely open the
table again. All your data entry and editing should be done in your forms.
Printing of the data should be done in the reports.

Your tables do not offer fancy formatting options.

I would be inclined to separate the issues of data STORAGE - in your
tables - from data DISPLAY.

Field names should generally be kept short (so your queries are
readable), free of blanks and special characters, and use a consistant
naming convention. They'll typically not be all that suitable for
printing on reports. For your printing, I'd suggest setting the
field's Caption property or (more likely) setting up your fields'
labels in report design.

In Design View of my Reports I increase the height of the Page Header, move
the line down then paste the relevant label beneath the original, positioning
this and deleting text as necessary ('House Number' and 'House Number' become
'House' and 'Number')
