You can use the <LineBreak/> tag in Markup in order to have multiple line tab captions.

Something like:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
   Dim l_LineHeightPx As Long
   Dim l_MarginHeightPx As Long
   
   ' Determine the height of one line of text
   ' and convert it to pixels if required (since the TabControl uses pixels)
   l_LineHeightPx = Me.TextHeight("A")
   Select Case Me.ScaleMode
   Case vbPixels, vbUser
   Case Else
      l_LineHeightPx = Me.ScaleY(l_LineHeightPx, Me.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
   End Select
   ' Calculate half of line height + padding for top margin and bottom margin
   l_MarginHeightPx = l_LineHeightPx / 2 + 1
   
   With Me.TabControl1
      ' Make room for 2 lines of text
      .PaintManager.ButtonMargin.SetRect 0, l_MarginHeightPx, 0, l_MarginHeightPx
      ' Enable Markup to take advantage of LineBreak tag
      .EnableMarkup = True
      ' Add 2 lines of text using TextBlock and LineBreak tags
      .InsertItem 0, "<TextBlock>Fish &amp;<LineBreak/>Food</TextBlock>", 0, 0
   End With
End Sub


Note that the margin calculation I provided is only good for 2 lines of text, and only if your form font is the same as your TabControl button font. Also note that this is relatively untested code that is intended for demonstration purposes (you are free to use it any way you please, but there may be bugs so please test it thoroughly!)
