Multiple Line Column Header

Is there is a way in version 8.4.1 to create a multiple line column header?  Instead of 'Policy Number' I'd want to see:
Policy
Number

Sometimes this wraps and sometime it doesn't.  We'd like to make everything so it will wrap or not wrap consistantly through the report.  This seems to be the best solution if it's possible.

thanks!

You could try adding a 1-column 2-row table within the header, and using text items in each cell.  Does this work?

Meep!

I was thinking that but doesn't the name of the column come from the properties?  How do you separate the words between the text items?

Actually that did work.  I was thinking that the generated header would still be there or that it had to be split from that point.  I just added the table and then hid the generated test item in the header.

thanks!

Great!  You can change the type of the existing header from Member Caption to Text (in Properties on the left) rather than hiding it if you wish.

Meep!
