Is there any way that the size of a cell within a record
can be increased beyond 255 characters? In Excel it is
possible to merge cells to achieve this but I can not
find it within Access.
 
You need to change the data type of the field from Text to Memo.

Excel's got cells, Access's got fields. If you're working directly in the
tables (implied because you refer to the field as a "cell"), start looking
into forms.

Doug's pointed you to the Memo data type.

Good luck
