GridView problems

I have a GridView displaying eight columns of data. I have set the size of each column and allowed wrapping for each column. No matter what size I make the column widths, there is no wrapping and the width of the total columns exceeds the size of my div.
How can I insure that the columns are as I set them with wrapping when necessary?

 

I have I GridView hosting an Access database of more than 3,000 records of names and addresses. As the files load, the GridView continually changes the size of the columns to accommodate the length of the data. I have created the GridView in a div of 1100px. As the records load, the GridView columns width fluctuates and the overall GridView width fluctuates between about 950px and 1100px. After all of the records are loaded, the GridView stabilizes at 1100px width. I then carefully set the width of each column to the actual final with in order to prevent the fluctuations of width during loading. I have set all columns to a fixed width with wrapping.
How can I prevent this fluctuation of column widths during loading?
A related problem is when I make a change in a column property such as centering data or changing the column title, it shows up in Design view but not in repeated compiles.
How can this be resolved?
