Hi,

Is there any way of wrapping the text in the header fields so that I don’t have to have such a wide column to fit the header in? In the example above I want to be able to see “Genre” rather than “Ge…” and “Proofer 1” instead of “Pro…”

Thanks in advance!

Kate

Given how airtable ignores these massive threads of logical requests I’m not sure this will help but, yes this is needed, airtable is used often as a replacement to sheets or excel, both of which let your wrap text, this is very important for the headers so you can get more info on the screen

Yes please do this. AT is not simple to navigate the columns and this is the solution!

+1 This is one of the things that makes Airtable hard to pitch to teams. Not being able to wrap headers just makes the whole UI way more visually unattractive than it needs to be.

yes please make this happen.

Everyone needs to email support@airtable.com about this. They don’t read our posts here, and they need to hear from us regarding this important issue.
