The memo field goes on forever. How can I set up word wrap for the memo
field in Access 2000 such as in Excel?
 
Not sure what you mean by this. I thought word wrap was the default
behavior.
 
Are you working directly in the table? If so, consider using a form and a
control -- these will give you "word wrap" and a host of other capabilities
over display (e.g., conditional formatting, events, ...).

But a table is just a bucket o' data, and greatly limits your display
options.

Good luck

Set the text box control's Multiline property to True.
