Format Text Fields

You can change how a text field displays its information by modifying its number property. Unfortunately, unlike number fields, text fields don’t have any ready-made settings and must be formatted manually.

1. In Design View, click the field you want to format.
2. Click the Format box.
3. Enter the appropriate text formatting symbols.
   

The Format property only changes how data is displayed on screen, not how the data is actually stored in the field.
