Text box not growing?

Hello. I drag and drop a field onto a form and it creates a text box.
I type text into the box, but then the text scrolls off. it is all
there. It is just hidden by the edges of the box.

I don't want to make the text box length 8" long so it captures all
entries, so there has to be someway that if I make the text box 2"
wide, it will wrap the text or expand or something.

I have its Can Grow property set to Yes already. What else should I
look for?

AccessVandal,

That does it! You can make the text box as long (or short) as you
want, but for word wrap, you also have to make its width (thickness) 2
lines wide (double-wide), and then throw in the vertical scroll bar in
case there is more text than 2 lines worth.

Thanks all!
