Kevin,

No. It occasionally will have a space or two but not the entire length of the field. For instance, I have a field for entering notes that is 75 characters long. If there is nothing in the field, it doesn't allow typing any entries at all. I tried putting the word "None" in that field manually. When I try to edit it, I was only able to use 4 characters. When I tinkered with the settings on the grid, I was occasionally able to enter 6 characters.
