Datasheet view field label resize?

Hi everyone,
I thought this would be easy, but I can't figure it out.

I have a form that I want to view in datasheet view. The labels for my fields need to be a few words long, but the actual contents in the records are only a few characters. Can I change the size of the label so it appears on two lines (and thus make my column skinnier)?

That's not possible in datasheet view.

An alternative might be to reduce the fontsize of the datasheet from the default 10 to 8.
