Is it possible to wrap text in Access like can be done in Excell?

I'm trying to wrap text in Access cells like can be done in Excell. Is this
possible?? If not, how can I make information appear on two lines in one

Jamie,
Not a big deal but... in Access, data is displayed in fields, not "cells".
Just increase the height of any text control or label in order to display the "wrapped"
multiline data.
ex.
If your text control or label is one font high, you might see this...
|This is a ve|

If you increase the Height of that control, you'll see...
|This is a |
|very long |
|string |

Also make sure you select the "shrink text" option in the properties menu
under format. That way, changing the feild size will only affect the wrapped

text and not the formatting of the rest of the data. Maybe you already knew
that.
