Tooltips, adjusting length/margin of the tip.

I have some text on a form that I want a help box to appear on mouseover. I
can put the text I want in the Controltip Text but the tooltip is a single
line that due to the length of my tooltip is way to long. Is there a way to
make the tooltip conform to a set margin?

In my travels in trying to solve this I did find the tooltip program at
http://www.lebans.com/tooltip.htm

which looks fantastic but I can't figure out how the heck to actually USE it
w/in my form! Anyways it is probably quite simple but I'm new to this and
actually embarassed to ask but I've poured over it for quite awhile and come
up empty, so I've come here hat in hand.

Thanks for any help.
 
If I recall correctly, you could insert a CR/LF in your tooltip by using
<Ctrl>-<Enter> and continue typing.
