While there is no option to do this in a table, you can do it quite easily
if you create a form (best for data entry and for browsing records
on-screen) or a report (best for printing) based on your table.

GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

Keep in mind that Access is a database and does not work like Excel.
Tables are just storage containers. To view or edit data we generally use
forms. To print data we use reports. Forms and reports are generally based
on queries that sort data and compute values based on existing data.
