Default Word Table

I am creating a table in Word because I like the way you can work with the
table without a limit of characters as in Access.( limit 256)
There is alot more to enter for each client on a few of them.
What I would like to know is how can I in the first column of the table,
have all the numbers move to the left so that I do not have to have a large
column just to display the numbers? I thank you in advance.
I did this once before, but cannot find how I did it again. :-(

In Access if you use a memo type field, the 256 character limit does not
apply.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I also got the same answer in Access help. I just changed it from
text to memo. I am just getting ready to start the input of info. Again,
thank you.
Access is something I am trying to learn on my own. This piece of info will
be a huge help.
