Timothy,
You could go to Tools/Optons/Forms and increase your design area. Then stretch your form to have more viewable area. You may need to drag it back smaller depending on the monitor resolutio it's to be used on. Also, see Cetin's excellent advice on a programatic way to handle the 50 alias changes.
BTW, is your tag from "Dr. Strangelove" by chance? Sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it...
