  A while back (pre Access 2000?) if you wrote out a tool tip, it would
  automatically roll down to a 2nd and 3rd line if needed.  That seemed to
  have gone away with Access 2000+.  (I'm using Access 2003 so I'm not
  completely sure.)

  I discovered a while back that you can have multi-line control tips in
  Access 2000+, and you can control where the line break is.

  When you are in the ControlTip Text property field, just push Ctrl+Enter
  where you want the line break to occur.  The 2nd line seems to disappear,
  but if you first click the cursor at the end of the text in the ControlTip
  Text field, and then use your down arrow key, the 2nd (or next) line will
  appear in the ControlTip Text field.  How's that for non-obvious!

  I had a chance today to use this again, so perhaps someone here can make use
  of it.
