Default "Can Grow" in datasheet view

Is there a way to allow word wrap in datasheet view so that large text fields
don't consume all display real estate?

No, I'm afraid not. But you can use the zoom box function to open a
popup displaying the larger text values. The key combination Shift+F2
opens the zoom box. And you can program a Click or DblClick event
procedure to open the zoom box. The VBA command is

RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
