How do you center them? I've tried centering the cell and it doesn't make any difference. I have one table header column that I want to center, and I just can't seem to get it to work. illegal operation on "dataview column header... line break?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/dataview-column-header-line-break#post-7317 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:05:13 +0000 illegal operation 7317@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <blockquote>An easier solution is to edit the cell properties of the table. Uncheck the "no wrap" option. Then you can click on the individual cell where the text is long and insert a break wherever you wish it to be. The header cell will then adjust the width and height to fit. </blockquote> That was actually the first thing I tried, and it doesn't work. It will only allow you to adjust the cell to the width of the line of text, it won't go any smaller and the text won't wrap. Doesn't make sense, it should work.

Here's the fix for what you want to do: 1. Within the fieldtitle parameter, put an HTML break (<code> </code>) where you want the text to wrap. <blockquote><code><xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">Number Licenses Needed</xsl:with-param></code> </blockquote> 2. Search for <code><xsl:value-of select="$fieldtitle" /></code> and change it to: <blockquote><code><xsl:copy-of select="$fieldtitle" /></code> Note: Leave alone the one inside the <code><xsl:when test="$fieldtype = 'Attachments'"></code>. Only change the one in the <code><xsl:otherwise></code>. </blockquote> Save and test to make sure it looks the way you want it to.

In SPD, remove the <code>…</code> tags from around the header text and they will then break for you.

I've seen some CSS methods posted in other places, but in SPD there has to be a way to do this manually without having to use CSS? right? I want to be able to adjust my column widths, but the headers are so long in SPD it won't allow me to make them any smaller? illegal operation on "dataview column header... line break?" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/dataview-column-header-line-break#post-6803 Tue, 19 May 2009 11:22:04 +0000 illegal operation 6803@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Hi, I haven't seen this asked yet, but this seems like this would be a common question. On a dataview column header, if the header is multiple words, it pushes the column width out to make it all fit on 1 line. So the columns become way to wide for the data they contain. How can I make it so, the headers have a line break? So instead of column header 1 it could be column header 1 I tried turning word wrap off, and that didn't do it. I've tried just forcing the column width smaller, but it won't let me do that either.
