Wrap text within table cells

To wrap text within the cells of a table, simply right click on the column header, then select Wrap text from the list of options. You can then adjust the width of your column by clicking the column header divider and dragging left or right.

You can wrap text in multiple columns at once by selecting multiple columns, right-clicking, and then selecting the option to wrap text.

And if you ever want to unwrap text, just right click on the column header and select Unwrap text from the list of options.

Wrap column headers

To wrap your column headers, first drag the column header down to create taller column headers. Then drag the divider between column headers to the left or right to resize the width of the header.
