Text wrapping in side-heads

[lhines01000]

Is there a way to make text wrap or insert a carriage return in a side-head? I have a paragraph format with an autonumber format that is two words, 15 characters total, and a side-head alignment. The text does not wrap, it just overlaps. I'm sure there's a way to make it wrap, but I have not been able to figure it out or to find anything by internet search. Has someone run into this before who can help me fix it?

Are you sure the Pagination property for that paragraph is:
(*) Side Head--Alignment
and not:
(*) Across All Columns and Side Heads

Yes, I'm certain. Here's the pertinent tab:

How about a soft-return (Shift Enter)?

I'm sorry, I re-read your post. It's not text on the page, it's text coming in via an autonumber format?

I'm going to go with a no. You might consider smaller type, or a wider side head to accommodate the width:

Yes, I came to that conclusion myself. Thank you!

As Barb has implied, an autonumber cannot extend over multiple lines. If you are using side heads with predefined text, consider entering the text in a multi-line reference frame and inserting it as a frame above (or frame below) in the paragraph format for the side head.
