adding paragraphs into a record

G

greg

I'm inside of a record, and the field is a memo field -- so I should be able
to write something long in there. However, I can't do what I'm about to do
here:

I just put in two new paragraph marks into this text I'm writing. Instead
of letting me start a new paragraph, Access jumps to something else -- like
the next record.

How can I put the paragraphs into my text? [I am familiar with the basics
of the ^p concept if that is used here.] Thank you.

Hi Greg,

Open the form in design view. Click on View > Properties if the properties dialog is not already
displayed. Then select the textbox that is bound to your memo field. You should see the name of
the textbox appear in the blue title bar of the properties dialog. Click on the Other tab.
Change the "Enter Key Behavior" property from Default to "New Line in Field".

Tom
