WordWrap in SubForm?

[Guest]

I have a subform in a Form. The subforms recordsource is a query of a table.
2 of my fields named "Description" and "Comments" have the potential of
having large amounts of text. Of course you can widen the columns to see all
the text but is it possible to set a Wordwrap property to these fields so I
can keep the format of the screen and avoid horizontal scrolling.

thanks in advance.

Use a Continuous Form, and make the textboxes tall enough to display the
needed number of rows. A textbox can also contain a scrollbar if you don't
have enough room.

You might just click the cursor in the column/row of that record and hit
Shift+2 or the click the Zoom icon on the toolbar to open a larger window
displaying the data.
