Make a Table Column Header 2 or more lines of text

First thing is to make your "Table.Title height" larger. This is much easier to do before you add controls to the table.... :)

After you have added one or more controls to the table, select the column you wish to edit. (You can actually <tab> to any column, or you can use an Alt+Leftclick to select a column.)

While parked in the "Column.Column title" property, press <F6> to go in to "Wide" mode. Move to wherever you want the line break and press <enter>. Press <F6> or <ESC> to close the "Wide" mode.

NOTE 1: Entering a multi-line Column Title forces the "Vertical alignment" property to "Top". (eDev 9.4sp4b)

NOTE 2: Text that does not fit in the vertical space of the column will be visually truncated.

NOTE 3: The "Column.Column title" property does not display the <CR><LF>, but it really is there!
