Wrap Around Text Box

I am using Access 2000
I have a form with a text box field for 200 characters - labeled
"instructions".
I want these instructions to wrap around (like it would do in Word) instead
of being in just one line. Is there a way to do this?

Aurora,
Text boxes do that normally. The text will show on one line if that 's only as high as
your text cotrol is.
If you heighten the text control (try 1.5" to test) , you'll see the text wrap
accordingly.
If you haven't got room to show all 200 characters in one box, set the Scroll Bars
property for the text control to Vertical. Then the user can see ... say... the first 4
lines, and scroll down for more if needed.
