Access "word wrap"

Question

I am trying to set my fields so they are all on 1 page. Does Access "word wrap" in the Notes field?

I'm not sure I understand your question because there is information left out. Specifically, I'm not sure what you mean by 1 page. But let me try to give you some info that may help.

If you view a table directly (open the table in datasheet view) there is no word wrap setting. However, you can resize the height of the columns so more text appears in a field. You can do this by clicking on the record selector on the left to select the row, then place the cursor on the bottom edge of the row until it becomes a 2 headed arrow and drag down to increase the height. This will cause text in the field to warp within the width. You can also widen the columns to view more text.

But one really shouldn't work directly with tables. You should be using a form to view the records in a table. You can then arrange the controls on the form to fit as you need. Text box controls can have scroll bars so you can scroll through the text that doesn't fit within the size of the control or you can make the control larger.

Another option is to use a report. If you just need to view your data, then create a report. Again you can arrange the controls on the report to fit as you need. In addition, controls on a report have Can Grow/Shrink properties, so they resize to fit the contents. This could, however, cause the size to exceed your single page.

If this doesn't answer your needs, please feel free to clarify your situation se I can help more.
