tabs in memo field

[Jhitch]

How can you enter a tab character in a memo field. I thought it was ctrl/tab but this does not seem to work now (if it ever did). Also any ideas on how to keep tab characters when copied from Word? At the moment any tabs pasted into memo field is just a wierd character.

J,

Access treats the TAB key as a field navigation tool only. The
Enter key, on the other hand, can be done with Ctrl-Enter.
When I have had to import data with Tabs in it, I have switched
to a fixed-pitch font (Courier) and substituted the appropriate
amount of spaces for the Tabs.

At first I found it hard to believe that Access will store Tabs,
but will display them with the "unprintable" vertical bar AND not
let you enter them. I guess that it's just one of those things.

I hope someone else has some thoughts on this.
