text across cells

[Guest]

Is it possible to type a line of text across the cells like in Excel? If so,
how? Thanks.

In a report or form yes. A Database datasheet is not a spreadsheet so no, not
there.

Thanks. I don't know how they make a title for the datasheet!!

No; and why would you WANT to?

Each Field (what you're calling a "cell") in an Access table should be
"atomic" (having only one value) and distinct (all of the information
for that attribute of the table should be in a single field).

If you have large volumes of text (over 255 characters) that need to
be treated as a unit, use a Memo field. It will let you type up to
65536 characters, or to store up to two billion if you fill it
programmatically.

Create a Report for printing, rather than trying to print a table. You
can put a Label control on the report header or page header, and it
can be as big as you wish (well, up to 22" x 22").

Access IS NOT Excel on steroids. It is a *different program* and works
differently!
