Thanks Jan. Yeah - I got the follow-up about the WordWrap. So - yeah - that's the trick - literally putting the Equal sign into the caption setting - it WORKED!!!
Now I remember that from the past - as that was the trick. A trick even the AI's didn't realize was a way to make it work. Thanks again!!! -Kurt ________________________________________ From: Jan Bucek <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2026 3:53 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: A Problem w/Grid Headers...
