Text Wrap in Access

We have just converted a lot of our Excel spread sheets into Access.

In Excel I can format a cell and use word rap.

Is there a way to do this in Access? How can I format a cell to use more then one line instead of one continues line.

Thank You

The first thing to remember in access is that these are not cells they are fields of data. You can't wrap text in a table field but it will be viewed as such on a form in the textbox.

You can try to increase the row height. This will wrap the text automatically.
