Default Word wrap in a pivot table

Right-click on a cell in the pivot table and choose Table Options
Make sure that the Preserve Formatting box is checked.

" Format Text in a Pivot Table
Posted by Mark W. on April 14, 2001 1:53 PM

Malc, setting the "Preserve formatting" PivotTable
Format option isn't prescriptive by itself. You
also must set Enable Selection by right-clicking
on your PivotTable and choosing the "Select
Enable Selection" command. Once you've done this
you must right-click on the PivotTable once again
and choose the "Select Label" command. Now you
can select the desired field label, and apply the
Alignment Wrap text format. I should also mention
that prior to performing these steps you may want
to temporarily set all PAGE fields to "(All)".
If you don't your applied formatting will only be
established for the existing settings. For more
on this see the Excel Help topic for "Format a
PivotTable". Hope this helps!"
